Description
Category Description for Pathway Reading - Grade 1
The Pathway Reading Series Grade 1 includes the most book titles for this series. Starting with Learning Through Sounds, Workbooks 1 and 2 provide phonics instruction along with the required teacher manual—for thorough implementation of daily lessons, including games and activities. The Helping Yourself Workbook can be used alongside Learning Through Sounds Workbook 1 and provides activity pages (cut-and-paste type) for each letter of the alphabet. Each reader is hardcover and has a correlating workbook (2 pages of exercises per story) and teacher manual, done in the following sequence: Before We Read, First Steps, Days Go By, and More Days Go By. Teacher manuals show copies of textbook and workbook pages with answers filled in and contain detailed notes for teaching. Students develop necessary skills for reading as they incrementally learn the 44 basic sounds and their symbols, which make up 85% of the English language. This process of decoding lays a solid reading foundation, allowing students to approach any new words through the sound system. All books encourage Christian values and are illustrated with cute, black-and-white, farm-inspired drawings. ~Janice/Rebecca
