Learning Language Arts Through Literature Long Vowel Readers for Blue Program

The Blue Program (K-1) covers beginning and intermediate phonics. It begins with readiness lessons, and then teaches short vowels, consonant blends and short vowels, and long vowels. Along with the phonics instruction, lessons cover vocabulary development, sequencing, comprehension skills, thinking skills, spelling, handwriting instruction using a unique “natural common sense” model, and an introduction to grammar. Three sets of practice readers are integral to the program: short vowel readers, bridge readers, and long vowel readers. Additional read aloud books are recommended from a variety of beloved children’s authors. The titles may be available at your local library. For your convenience, we offer these tiles in a separate, Read Aloud Library Package

The Blue Program Set includes Teacher Book, Student Book, three sets of Readers, and Materials Packet. Materials Packet is non-consumable and contains letter/word cards and cardstock letter dice. Components are also available separately.

Thirteen popular children’s books make up the Read-Aloud Library. These are separate from the phonics readers and are used for the literature part of the program. You can purchase them in a set with the Blue Program, purchase titles individually, or source them at your local library.

E-book versions of the Blue Program Teacher Book, the Student Book and the Materials Packet are also available. In 1-2 business days after the order is processed, the publisher will send an email with information on how to access the files. Once the email is sent, you have 14 days to download the material. Once downloaded, they never expire from the customer's computer and can be read and printed from any device.
