Bob Books Set 3 adds something new for young readers. Consonant blends gently introduce new concepts to the progressing reader. Consistent vowel sounds and lots of three-letter-word practice mean your child continues to enjoy reading success. In addition to eight story books, two Activity Books are included, designed to entice youngsters to read, write, and solve puzzles. Inside this eBook youÕll find: - 10 easy-to-read books, 16 pages each - Many three letter words - An introduction to four and five letter words (one syllable) - An introduction to two syllable words - Can be "sounded out" (phonics based) - Limited sight words - 25 to 40 words per book

A practical guide for teachers to link phonemic awareness (hearing sounds in words) with phonics (the visual details of print).

Teach the top sight words with these entertaining activities young learners can do all by themselves! Kids read and sort must-know words from the Fry List then practice writing those words on companion pages. Along the way, they boost essential reading, classifying, writing, AND fine-motor skills. These playful reproducible pages are no-prep and perfect for seatwork, centers, or send-home.

This is a mini reading program with 100 progressive reading stories to promote coding and decoding of words. This reading program is designed to introduce 4 and 5 year olds to the wonderful world of reading. It can also aid a child who is experiencing reading difficulties. It may be used as a good source of supplemental reading materials. Along with teaching a child to read, the program can also promote success in reading and enhance a childs confidence and desire to read. A list of introduction and review words are presented at the beginning of each story. These introduction words may be used as a spelling lesson which would combine reading and spelling. This reinforces reading words in content and helps to make spelling grades obtainable at a 100% level. It is advisable that a strong phonics program which emphasizes consonant sounds, vowel sounds and consonant blend sounds accompany this reading program. I endeavored to make these stories short, informative and entertaining for the child. Having taught for 30 years and having used this method to help children read, I KNOW IT WORKS!

**This is the chapter slice "Reading Passages" from the full lesson plan "Word Families: Long Vowels"** Increase vocabulary, sight word recognition and comprehension as you help your students identify the correct pronunciation of long vowel phonograms (word families) using real life pictures as an aid. We also highlight the “Dolch” high frequency words which encourage beginning reading skills. As students begin to read and understand more about the onset and rhyme connection found in word families, they will begin to think of words as not only a series of individual letters and sounds, but as easily recognizable segments or chunks of language. Reproducible worksheets include, rhyming, writing, poetry, cloze sentences, riddles and chunking. All of our content meets the Common Core State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy.

Instill a love of language in students in grades 1–2 using Word Families. This 64-page book introduces students to word families and teaches them to use letter-sound associations and context clues to identify new words. This resource includes reproducible pages, teaching suggestions, assessments, activities, games, and a reproducible parent letter. The activities prepare students for more-advanced skill development, and the book is great for whole-group, independent, and center activities. It supports NCTE standards.

In spite of the wide range of resources and innovative teaching methods schools have had and are using, many students still fail to acquire literacy. Many have specific problems with word and letter symbols. They reverse and invert them, their hearing cannot discriminate fine differences in letter sounds, or they do not perceive patterns easily for their brain to make connections. Their visual and auditory memory may fail them, or their culture may use language that does not align with the standard accepted forms in the text. These children are disadvantaged because their brains work differently and they think and respond differently. This book embraces a different metaphor for teaching literacy that does not compartmentalize the curriculum into separate areas such as spelling, reading, writing, listening, speaking and presenting. Instead, the focus is on assessing their written language as a place to start in planning for success. An unassisted sample of a learner's writing could be said to be an example of what they understand of literacy, whether it be a scribble at three or an essay at twelve. I have proved conclusively that if teacher and student work collaboratively on improving their writing using their reading as a model, their reading ability rises naturally. This customized and individualized teaching method enables authentic teacher/student interactions. This not only allows the teacher to closely tailor their teaching to each student's unique learning needs, but it also brings the student on board in assessing their progress. Teaching a Child to Read and Write Well will clear a path towards mastering literacy that can engage all students and lead to success for all. Give it a go!
