Category Description for Pathway Reading - Grade 1
Students develop necessary skills for reading as they incrementally learn the 44 basic sounds and their symbols, which make up 85% of the English language. This process of decoding lays a solid reading foundation, allowing students to approach any new word through the sound system. All books encourage Christian values and are illustrated with cute, black-and-white, farm-inspired drawings. Learning Through Sounds Workbooks 1 and 2 provide phonics instruction along with the required teacher manual—for thorough implementation of daily lessons, including games and activities. (The Learning Through Sounds Practice Workbook is perfect for students who’ve finished workbooks 1 and 2 and need additional practice, or as review when bridging into 2nd grade). The Helping Yourself Workbook can be used alongside Learning Through Sounds Workbook 1 and provides activity pages (cut-and-paste type) for each letter of the alphabet. Each reader is hardcover and has a correlating workbook (2 pages of exercises per story) and teacher manual, done in the following sequence: Before We Read, First Steps, Days Go By, and More Days Go By. Teacher manuals show copies of textbook and workbook pages with answers filled in and contain detailed instructions for teaching.

Why did you choose this?
The Pathway Readers are really good readers for young children.
I taught my 6 kids how to read with this beautiful program. Now I am teaching in a woman's shelter and was so happy to find them again!
Looking forward to this reader for my youngest. I didn't use it for my other children but I know it will be good because I've used some of their workbooks already.
Heard good things about these primers; decided to try this first one to see how we like it.
