Explode the Code Wall Chart
Explode the Code in 3D! This royal blue felt wall chart contains 26 pockets. Each pocket contains a colorful, removable stuffed toy that children can play with. The toy is the key word used in the Explode the Code books to learn their respective letters. Letters are shown in yellow lowercase on the chart. The chart’s small felt objects help children to make a meaningful connection between a letter and its sound, while a variety of games help them to retain and reinforce this knowledge.
The Wall Chart Activity Book (sold separately or as a set) gives fun games to play with the chart. These games are also useful for keeping easily distracted children on task. This chart can be used on its own as a versatile tool for beginning phonics or to inspire children’s independent alphabet games and activities.
The wall chart may also be used on its own as a versatile tool for beginning phonics or to inspire children’s independent alphabet games and activities. 16 X 32 1/2 inches.
Explode the Code is a proven Orton-Gillingham based program using systematic phonics instruction with multisensory activities. Students progress through the workbooks and build essential reading skills, including phonological and phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and more. Designed to cover skills ranging from preschool to 4th grade, the workbooks are organized by skill level without grade levels printed on the covers. This makes them perfect for remediation as well as for beginning readers, since older children can progress confidently without the pressure of feeling behind. There are three sets of workbooks that loosely correlate with the following grades:
- Preliteracy Primers: Get Ready for the Code, Get Set for the Code, and Go for the Code are all perfect for preschool through 1st grade.
- Explode the Code: Books 1-3 are ideal for 1st grade and books 4-6 are great for 2nd grade. Books 7 and 8 are excellent for 3rd and 4th graders. There are also 1/2 level books between each level that provide extra practice before moving up.
- Beyond the Code: Book 1 for Grade 1, Book 2 for Grade 2, Book 3 for Grades 2-3, and Book 4 for Grades 3-4.
Explode the Code books are a perfect supplement to use alongside any phonics program, providing practice worksheets to reinforce skills step-by-step whether in preschool, kindergarten, or beyond! If using as a full phonics curriculum, the Teacher’s Guide rounds out the program, offering scripted lesson plans with detailed instructions for teaching concepts, and various suggestions for activities and skill reinforcement (some activities use the optional Wall Chart with Activity Book or Card Set). Includes differentiation tips for learning styles, group sizes, and English language learners, along with Answer Keys.

The Get Ready, Get Set, and Go for The Code, A, B, and C student workbooks provides pre-literacy instruction and reinforcing exercises with a focus on visual identification of consonants, their written lowercase letter forms and their sound-symbol relationships. Each lesson addresses the principles of effective reading instruction and follows the same easy-to-use format. The Teachers Guide is required for providing listening exercises.
The Teachers Guide for Workbooks A, B and C expands on the skills presented in these books, providing teachers with various options for instruction and reinforcement. The wide variety of activities may be adapted for whole-class, small-group, and one-on-one learning situations.
The 60 Picture-Letter Cards can be used for supplementary visual and auditory work and match key words in the student workbooks. Letter cards allow students to practice letter identification and recognition. Picture-letter combination cards help students map sounds to symbols.

The Workbooks, Explode The Code Books 1-8 focus on Phonemic Awareness, Phonological Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency, Comprehension, and Writing. All workbooks have several review lessons and a posttest. Explode The Code Half Books (1 -6 ) focus on more practice and reinforcement with skills in workbooks 1-6.
Code Cards (1 card for every concept introduced in Books 1-3.) include suggestions for daily practice activities and games. Each card is marked with the book and page number on the concept, which it is introduced.
Teachers Guides (Books 1-8) incorporate a quick review, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension in every lesson. Suggestions for writing practice and differentiated instruction are provided for each lesson.

Please also note these books only cover the "whole" levels, not the 1/2 levels.
Explode The Code Placement Tests are designed to assess students encoding and decoding skills. All tests can be given in either a group setting or individually, with the exception of Test 4, which must be administered individually. Included are directions for administering and analyzing results; answer keys and reproducible test forms.
