Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For helping kindergartners and first graders who are having difficulty on their early literacy skills, Road to the Code is an 11-week program for teaching phonemic awareness and letter sound correspondence. Developmentally sequenced, each of the 44 15- to 20-minute lessons features three activities--Say-It-and-Move-It, Letter Name and Sound Instruction, and Phonological Awareness Practice--that give students repeated opportunities to practice and enhance their beginning reading and spelling abilities. Detailed scripted instructions and photocopiable materials--such as Alphabet Picture and Sound Bingo cards--make this program easy for teachers to use. Teachers have the flexibility to work with students individually or in small groups and may adjust the amount of time it takes for a student to complete the program. With these proven phonological awareness activities, educators can confidently intervene before children have a chance to fail.

Designed for helping kindergartners and first-graders who need extra work on their early literacy skills, this proven plan for teaching phonological awareness is a teacher's best friend. Expert researchers created this developmentally sequenced, 11-week program to give students repeated opportunities to practice and enhance their beginning reading and spelling abilities. Each 15- to 20-minute lesson features a Say-It-and-Move-It activity, a Letter Name and Sound Instruction exercise, and Phonological Awareness practice.
