This second consumable book in this 6-book series progressively teaches students to read. Starts with the “long a, e, i, o, and u” sounds. Then, this book ends with instruction in making the “long e” sound using double vowels (ea, ee, ey, ie, and ei). Bible stories include Abraham and Sarah, Abraham’s Test, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Esau, and Jacob’s Journey. Sight words and phonics are intertwined. Sight words (240) include about, country, their, because, and more. Students are encouraged to tell the story in their own words. 40 pgs, sc. ~ Ruth
Publisher's Description of Language Olympics Literacy Book 2
Overview
This program requires one-on-one tutoring.
There are six student workbooks, each having five lessons. The thirty lessons take a student from being a non-reader up to fifth level in reading skills.
There is a progress chart on the inside front cover of each book. Use the chart to check off each task that your student completes.
If a student is able to master one lesson per week, he will complete the program in about 8 months.
PHONICS WORD READING
This is a reading mastery page. Use a folded paper or ruler to help your student’s eyes focus on each line of words. Your student may need to hear you say the word first. You read and the student “echoes”. Then have him read it alone. If needed, point out the individual sounds that make up the word, and show him how to
“sound out” a word.
SPELLING
The spelling words are selected from the phonics page and are based on their frequency of use in everyday language. Have your student read the list of spelling words. Then have him read each word and spell it aloud. (Example: “cat…c-a-t”)
To become a fluent reader, a person must instantly recognize words that make up the bulk of written material.
Each lesson introduces 24 sight words. Many of these are not spelled the way they sound. Have your student practice until he can easily read them. This prepares him for reading the stories.
He can use the sight-words page in the book, or the page may be copied and cut into flashcards.
USE SIGHT AND SPELLING WORDS
The student chooses the correct spelling word to fill in the blanks. He then reads the sentences aloud.
READING & TELLING THE STORY
The student uses words from the boxes to fill in the blanks. At this point, he should be able to do most of the work on his own.
STORY ACTIVITIES
The story activity page provides a variety of reading comprehension activities. Give your student as much help as he needs, but encourage as much independence as possible.
COMPLETION CHECKLIST (END OF BOOK)
The book is considered complete when the student has demonstrated mastery of all five lessons. When the tutor can verify that his student is ready, he signs the completion certificate and his student may begin the next book.
