Reading is a complex of closely interrelated skills. To become a skilled reader a student has to have well developed:
• language skills
• visual skills
• phonologic awareness and processing
• rapid automatic recognition of familiar words
This workbook focuses on letter-sound relatonships, phonemic and spelling patterns, appreciation of common meaningful parts or roots of words and
picture word recognition.
Beginning readers are often insensitive to spelling patterns, but with well constructed reading practice right through the workbook the readers will acquire the feel for the letter-sound patterns that parallel spelling patterns. The activities are interesting and motivating and the content is meaningful.
Words are matched to pictures that give a real meaning to the word. The two images - the word and the picture are linked in the memory. The link makes it possible to look at the word and recall the picture or look at the picture and recall the word. The picture strengthens the image and assists the automatic rapid recall of the word.
This reproducible workbook has been successfully used by
special education teachers and home schoolers.
