Explode the Code is a proven Orton-Gillingham based program using systematic phonics instruction with multisensory activities. Students progress through the workbooks and build essential reading skills, including phonological and phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and more. Designed to cover skills ranging from preschool to 4th grade, the workbooks are organized by skill level without grade levels printed on the covers. This makes them perfect for remediation as well as for beginning readers, since older children can progress confidently without the pressure of feeling behind. There are three sets of workbooks that loosely correlate with the following grades:
- Preliteracy Primers: Get Ready for the Code, Get Set for the Code, and Go for the Code are all perfect for preschool through 1st grade.
- Explode the Code: Books 1-3 are ideal for 1st grade and books 4-6 can be used for 2nd grade. Books 7 and 8 are excellent for 3rd and 4th graders. There are also 1/2 level books between each level that provide extra practice before moving up.
- Beyond the Code: Book 1 for Grade 1, Book 2 for Grade 2, Book 3 for Grades 2-3, and Book 4 for Grades 3-4.
Explode the Code books are a perfect supplement to use alongside any phonics program, providing practice worksheets to reinforce skills step-by-step whether in preschool, kindergarten, or beyond! If using as a full phonics curriculum, the Teacher’s Guide rounds out the program, offering scripted lesson plans with detailed instructions for teaching concepts, and various suggestions for activities and skill reinforcement (some activities use the optional Wall Chart with Activity Book or Card Set). Includes differentiation tips for learning styles, group sizes, and English language learners, along with Answer Keys.
