Student books include simple, straightforward phonics instruction that is colorful and easy to use. In each student book you find simple tear-out mini-readers to practice with. There is a mix of illustrations and real photos when it comes to vocabulary. Students are asked to discern differences and think critically at every turn. Handwriting instruction is worked into the lessons using both D’Nealian and Traditional style. In Grade 2, students build their knowledge of high-frequency words, work on blends and digraphs, inflected endings, contractions, r-controlled vowels, long vowels, 3-letter blends, diphthongs, comparative endings, compound words, syllable patterns, abbreviations, odd spellings, with foldable decodable readers they pull from the student book for practice. Pages are perforated. Teacher resources are online. One year of access begins when you initiate the process using the card inside. Resources include a teacher guide with instruction for every module clearly laid out for you. There are several lessons in every module with an assessment at the end. Along the way, exit tickets are short and painless assessments of your child’s learning. Interactive elements teach letter sounds. You actually hear letters and words articulated. This program is designed to teach reading from phonics. As always, the more reading practice you can get in, the better your child’s fluency will develop. ~Sara
