Plaid Phonics Homeschool Bundle Level B (2011 Edition)

Back in the day, Plaid Phonics was known as MCP Plaid Phonics, a very solid series of phonet­ic and word study skills. Instruction moves from letter recognition in the K level, to alphabetizing, syllabication, and dictionary skills in the upper levels. Built-in review of previously learned skills within the books helps student master concepts. They also contain some pages in “standardized test format,” so you get a little test preparation as a bonus. There is considerable overlap between lev­els, allowing you to jump in anywhere in the program. 

At each level, there is a consumable Student Workbook and a Teacher Resource Book. Student Workbooks are in full-color and include basic instructions on each page. Units are broken down into lessons with the suggestion of completing 3-6 lessons per week. Although you can use the work­books as stand-alone supplementation and reinforcement, the Teacher Resource Guides contain complete teaching information to use this as a phonics program. Teacher Resource Guides are spiral-bound and include: pre-tests and post-tests, lesson plans, teaching information, suggested activities, and noted cross-curriculum connections. Homeschool Bundles include both the student and teacher’s edition.
