Category Description for Pathway Reading

An Amish reading program which portrays a lifestyle in which people cherish Christian traits, and in which children gain insights into how to behave! Families are large and stories are centered around the family and farm. The stories are interesting to children if our kids are any indicator! One of my favorites is a story from First Steps in which little Rachel discovers, after attempting to help mother shell peas, that watching baby Miriam really is a good way to help mother with meal preparations!

Although many of our customers use the readers as a standalone, we carry the complete reading program, including teacher's manuals, workbooks, and tests or quizzes where available. Instruction is plain and effective, with minimalistic black and white illustrations, which makes this series affordable and user-friendly. Please note that the Teacher's Manuals are necessary for Before We Read, First Steps, and Learning Through Sounds 1 and 2.

Package content varies. Each package includes the Student Text, Student Workbook, and Workbook Teacher Manual. Where available, packages also include the Tests and Test Answer Sheet and/or Quizzes and Answer Sheet. While these tests and answers are not part of the original Amish reading program, they were created to meet the needs of homeschooling parents outside the Amish classroom. Flashcards are included in the Grade 1 package. See individual packages for more information. Consumables are not reproducible, so each student will need his/her own workbook, tests, and quizzes.

Packages include the student text, student workbook, teacher edition of the workbook, test, and the test answer sheet.

Category Description for Pathway Reading - Grade 1

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 word through the sound system. All books encourage Christian values and are illustrated with cute, black-and-white, farm-inspired drawings. 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 Learning Through Sounds Practice Workbook is perfect for students who’ve finished workbooks 1 and 2 and need additional practice, or as review when bridging into 2nd grade). 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 instructions for teaching.
