Now with refreshed designs, the Sound Out Kit includes 36 books and 6 workbooks: sets A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2 and a reproducible workbook for each set, all in a convenient storage case,
For years we have been hearing from special education teachers who have found the Sound Out Phonics-Based Chapter Books effective in teaching basic reading skills. Designed to follow a skill sequence that gives students multiple opportunities to practice specific phonics skills, your student will 'graduate' from set A-1 to set C-2 with the confidence that comes from a successful reading experience. If your student has a learning disability, or is learning English as a second language, these are the books you have been searching for:
Sets A-1 and A-2 each consist of six books, three of which focus on short vowels and three that focus on long vowels. Students with minimal reading skills can read these books from cover-to-cover. They'll have a successful and enjoyable reading experience with lots of decoding practice.
Sets B-1 and B-2 each include six books that give practice in all the decoding skills found in Set A plus two groups of new skills: three of the books focus on consonant blends and digraphs and three focus on diphthongs, controlled vowels, and silent letters. Like Set A, only single-syllable words are included.
Sets C-1 and C-2 each include six books that give practice in all of the skills found in Sets A and B and add new skills. Three books focus on spelling patterns, inflectional endings, and compound words and three focus on prefixes and suffixes and regularly spelled two-syllable words.
The Reading Intervention Booklet offers an overview on the importance of phonics-based instruction, the features of Sound Out Phonics-Based Chapter Books, how to determine reading level and how to use the exercises in the Sound Out Workbooks for comprehension, sentence completion, writing, fluency, vocabulary, proof-reading and spelling.
