Pathway Reading

Pathway Reading is a delightful reading program that cherishes simple lifestyles and moral values. It provides interesting family and farm life stories in the early grades, transitioning to stories and poems from the Amish tra­dition, Bible, and other literature.

Offering plain instruction, and minimalistic black and white illustrations, children begin the series learning the 44 basic sounds and their sym­bols in the Learning through Sounds Books 1 and 2. These workbooks provide phonics instruction and require the Teacher Manual for thorough implementation of daily lessons.

Students then move into the Before We Read workbook before the Readers: First Steps Pre- Primer. The workbooks lay the foundation for successful reading skills and most students can move quickly through them. The program begins reading instruction in 1st grade, which is later than many other programs. The option­al Helping Yourself Workbook can be used alongside Learning Through Sounds Workbook 1 and includes cut and paste activities for each letter of the alphabet. Other grades become more streamlined with readers and corre­sponding workbooks.

Although many of our customers use the readers as a standalone, we carry the com­plete reading program, which includes the hardcover Readers, Student Workbooks, Teacher’s Manuals (required for Before We Read, First Steps, and Learning Through Sounds 1 and 2), and the Tests or Quizzes (where available). Tests and Quizzes were created for families who wish to evaluate student progress but are not a part of the orig­inal reading program. Grade Level Packages are available and include the Student Text(s), Student Workbook(s), and Workbook Teacher Manual(s). Where available, packages also include the Tests and Test Answer Sheet and/ or Quizzes and Answer Sheet. Grade 1 also includes Flashcards.
