Reading and Spelling Pure & Simple: First Grade Word Study Workbook 1
- The Read has the students read the words out loud to the teacher. Students discover that reading simply involves recognizing the letters of a word and knowing the sounds they make, then pronouncing these sounds from left to right.
- The Discuss components call for the teacher to chat with students about word meanings (no formal definitions needed) and make students aware that many English words have several meanings (bat, lap). This activity of discussing words ensures that students will develop the habit of thinking about meaning while they read.
- The Spelling part consists of a spelling test given at the end of every Exercise 1.
- pairing words that rhyme,
- putting words from a list in alphabetical order,
- learning to use a dictionary, and
- practicing handwriting
The Reading and Spelling Pure & Simple program's no-nonsense presentation without distracting graphics means these lessons will work as well with remedial students as they will with young students. The lessons teach letter and sound patterns and students learn to associate alphabet letters and letter combinations with their assigned sounds. Concepts are explained in terms of “patterns” rather than “rules,” and spelling and word comprehension are emphasized throughout the program. This systematic, sequential method is simple for anyone to understand and teach. One-page directions provide the instructions for teaching each easy-to-follow lesson. Teacher preparation is kept to a minimum - read word lists, discuss word meanings, spell the words in every lesson, and keep track of the student’s progress. Designed for one-on-one instruction, it can be used by itself or coupled with Workbooks for review and practice.
The optional, consumable Workbooks are grade specific in the lower grades but can be used sequentially in the upper grades (or with remedial or ELL students). There are four exercises for each lesson: Read, Discuss, Spell (Exercise 1); Rhyme These Words (Exercise 2); Word Study (Exercise 3); ABC Order (Exercise 4); and Guide Words in the Dictionary (Exercise 5). There is some overlap in lesson coverage between the workbooks with lessons covered at different grade levels having similar but age-appropriate activities.
