"The Early Emergent Kit works to focus on helping students develop early reading behaviors. Over the course of a week of lessons, students read a new book each day and a new nonfiction book each week. Each week, they compose a story about something they have learned from reading a nonfiction book and learn about how letters and words work using magnetic letters. Students build a core of words they can read and write. Lessons include guided reading using leveled books, phonics/word work, fluency, comprehension and vocabulary development. Each lesson also includes suggestions for working with second language students."--Website
