The Red
Program (1-2) begins with a review of previously learned phonics skills, before
continuing into intermediate and advanced phonics skills (with more emphasis
placed on poetry, sentence structure, grammar, and writing). Integral to the program, the
quality of children’s literature in the “Read-Aloud library” promotes a love of
reading through time spent with children reading together. Enrichment
activities are included to expand thinking, reasoning, and writing skills.
Spelling and Handwriting (manuscript) instruction is included beginning in
lesson 5. The Red Program Set includes the Teacher Book, Student Book and six
Readers. Three supplemental readers are also available (not included) that can
be used for additional practice, but are not necessary for the program (Forest
Fables, Underwater Friends, and All Around the Farm). The
read-aloud titles include ten classic children’s books that are used throughout
the year. You can purchase the ten read-aloud books as part of the
Complete Package with the Teacher and Student books, buy them separately, or
source them from a local library.
E-book versions of the Red Program
Teacher Book, the Student Book and the required six Readers are also available.
