Llatl Red Program (3rd Ed.) - Grade 2

Description

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. 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.
