This 1st
workbook in the Learning to Read Using Phonics series follows a natural
progression, beginning with the most common sound attributed to each letter of
the alphabet. Beginning and ending consonants are examined next, followed by
short vowels. Children begin connecting sounds to letters, practicing letter
formation on the lines, naming pictured items, and rhyming as they focus on
beginning, middle, and ending sounds in words. Long vowels are explored next
with word families, some short sentences, and then simple, two letter blends. I
love the inclusion of the high-frequency word lists at the beginning of the
book, getting kids off to a great start! These include a 100 Sight Words List
along with Direction Words (listen, color, circle), and Colors. These can be
used as references and reviewed frequently with children. Black and white pages
include lots of cute illustrations and a variety of activities that kids will
enjoy!
Learning to
read can be a fun adventure! This series of 3 workbooks is impressive and quite
extensive, laying a strong foundation for reading and writing! Each 112-page
workbook includes easy-to-use worksheets with a variety of activities to
develop vocabulary, spelling skills, and reading and writing fluency. Each book
includes an Answer Key at the back and is reproducible for a family or single
classroom teacher.
First, young
learners focus on the most common sounds attributed to each letter of the
alphabet and practice identifying, tracing, and writing each letter. Next,
they’re combining letters and sounds to form words before sounding out more
complex words and reading as well as writing whole sentences.
