Publisher's Synopsis
Designed to develop skilled readers versus skilled memorizers, this letters sounds back to basics teaching resource, with up to 3 years of complete lesson plans is broken down into 4 reading skill-level master books, each complete with a quick reference letter sounds glossary. This work is an anti-multitasking, child-favored, conquer 1 step-at-a-time, unique, fun-learning, hands-on, (get out your seat and on your feet: starting at lesson 7) easy life-long learning experience. The Instant Reading Teacher training does not begin decodable sentence reading practices until lesson 15, and believes that a learners' teacher should not feel anxious or eager to have their student begin reading pure skill-level decodable story books until lesson 23 and ideally wait until after lesson 34, at which point your student will be 100% read by themselves independent. HOWEVER, if you have a quick- learning word-consuming book-loving child or older student who already has advanced reading skills... and you want to be able to quickly explain and give them hands-on practice of a specific sound-out-tool, for example, how to recognize and automatically recall words with the soft 'c' (lessons 37 and 50), or you don't know how to explain in a way that a child will easily understand and remember that in a word like 'apple' why the letter 'e' is silent (lessons 33 - 34) or why the double letter 'p' makes only 1 sound (lesson 14), the companion student workbooks offers the convenience of custom ordering only your advanced child's specific interest. Just visit the products menu page of the Sweet Sounds of Reading website or send an email to the Reading Lady and you will quickly receive a handy reference copy of the Letter Sounds Table of Contents.
