Description
One of the most common areas of difficulty in learning to read is acquiring the skills to break the code in which English is written. When the code is carefully taught, and when it is then practiced until the recognition of the phonograms becomes automatic, most learners can acquire good reading skills. Decoding is the ability to look at letter groupings and figure out the sounds that are represented. Comprehension, or understanding the meaning that those words are trying to convey, is the other half. This book teaches decoding skills, encourages vocabulary expansion, provides specific and logical reading lessons, as well as practice towards the development of broad comprehension skills. It is advised to study with another person, whether it be a teacher, parent, spouse, friend, or a child that reads well. Level 1 section – you will read 30 different practice stories. Level 2 section – 25 stories; and Level 3 – 25 stories. All stories are from the McCall-Crabbs Standard Test Lessons in Reading, Books D and E. Answers are included and a grade level chart to score progress. 190 pgs, pb. ~Amber
Publisher's Description of Read Better! For Adults and Teens
One of the earliest tasks that a child faces, and arguably the most important one, is to learn how to read. For many, this skill is easily acquired, but for others, the letters on the page remain a mystery. A third group of readers learn to read at some level but never learn to read well, with ease, and with enjoyment. It is for that third group, now grown into adults and teens, that this book is written.
Read Better! For Adults and Teens provides easy-to-follow lessons, which teach the fundamentals of English and ways to improve your comprehension skills. This simple method not only teaches you how the English language is "encoded," but also provides 80 incremental standardized practice stories with grade level scoring for charting progress. With chapters like "Phonemes, Phonics, and Phonograms," "6 Types of Syllables," and "Comprehension Strategies," you will receive vital information you need to improve your reading. Note: More limited readers should work with a parent, friend, or tutor who can correct pronunciation and check understanding of each lesson. This book is also recommended for use in middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities, homeschooling, work settings, GED programs, ESL English learning programs, and prisons.
