Publisher's Synopsis
Blends to Win Gold Standard is a step up in literacy enhancement. Blends to Win Gold is a book geared to increase reading potential by going beyond the basics of phonics instruction. Blends uses visuals prompts to enable learners to internalize and recall words. Common core curricula emphasizes the need for students to learn affixes for decoding word meanings beginning in 3rd grade. Blends to Win provides teachers and students with an introductory gateway into those skills. This material was developed for use with special needs students and has proven to be effective in field trials. Blends to Win Gold is an update and addresses reading skills not covered in the Blends to Win Basic and Advanced literacy books. Fluency development, synonyms, decoding, prefixes, suffixes, and digraphs are components of the Blends reading plan. Great tool for ESL and dialect practice as well.
