A time-tested approach for teaching phonics and reading based on the Orton-Gillingham technique! This fourth book in the Explode the Code series of 8 workbooks continues with carefully sequenced lessons for phonics mastery. This workbook introduces compound words, common word endings (-ful, -ing, -est, -ed, -ness), syllable types (open, closed, Cle, silent e, digraph) and syllabication with 2- and 3-syllable words. Foundational skills (including phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, spelling, comprehension, and writing) are practiced through a variety of fun encoding, decoding, and writing exercises with cute black-and-white illustrations throughout. Lessons follow the same format each time, allowing many students to work through exercises independently, and the user-friendly Teacher Guide rounds out the program with various multisensory options for instruction and reinforcement. If additional practice is desired, Book 4 ½ offers opportunities to reinforce the skills taught in Book 4. 124 pgs. sc.
Workbook 4 introduces students to compound words, common endings, and syllable types. Students learn that compound words are made up of two smaller words that when put together make a word with a different meaning. They practice adding the endings ful, -ing, -est, -ed, and -ness to make new words.
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:
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.
