Explode the Code Book 3 (2nd Edition)
- Proven method for reading success with beginning or struggling readers!
- Orton-Gillingham based with direct, systematic phonics instruction
- Multisensory activities build essential literacy skills
- Covers long vowels (including silent -e), digraphs “sh, th, wh, ch, ng, and ck”, the trigraph “tch”, and vowel digraphs “ee-ea, ai-ay, oa-ow”
A time-tested approach for teaching phonics and reading based on the Orton-Gillingham technique! This third book in the Explode the Code series of workbooks continues with carefully sequenced lessons for phonics mastery. This workbook introduces “y” as a vowel, silent e, consonant digraphs (sh, th, wh, ch, -tch, -ng, -ck), and vowel digraphs (ee, ea, ai, ay, oa, ow). 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 3 ½ offers opportunities to reinforce the skills taught in Book 3. 124 pgs. sc.
Workbook 3 begins with words that present y as a vowel, then progress to long vowels with silent e, and finally to consonant and vowel digraphs. Students practice blending sounds to read and write one-syllable words that include digraphs and long vowel sounds.

The Get Ready, Get Set, and Go for The Code, A, B, and C student workbooks provides pre-literacy instruction and reinforcing exercises with a focus on visual identification of consonants, their written lowercase letter forms and their sound-symbol relationships. Each lesson addresses the principles of effective reading instruction and follows the same easy-to-use format. The Teachers Guide is required for providing listening exercises.
The Teachers Guide for Workbooks A, B and C expands on the skills presented in these books, providing teachers with various options for instruction and reinforcement. The wide variety of activities may be adapted for whole-class, small-group, and one-on-one learning situations.
The 60 Picture-Letter Cards can be used for supplementary visual and auditory work and match key words in the student workbooks. Letter cards allow students to practice letter identification and recognition. Picture-letter combination cards help students map sounds to symbols. Use with Get Ready, Get Set, and Go for The Code, A, B, and C workbooks.
The Workbooks, Explode The Code Books 1-8 focus on Phonemic Awareness, Phonological Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency, Comprehension, and Writing. All workbooks have several review lessons and a posttest. Explode The Code Half Books (1 -6 ) focus on more practice and reinforcement with skills in workbooks 1-6.
Code Cards (1 card for every concept introduced in Books 1-3.) include suggestions for daily practice activities and games. Each card is marked with the book and page number on the concept, which it is introduced.
Teachers Guides (Books 1-8) incorporate a quick review, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension in every lesson. Suggestions for writing practice and differentiated instruction are provided for each lesson. Specific answers to the student pages are not offered, as the book assumes student and teacher will be completing these together. However, answers for pre-test and post-test questions are included. Please also note these books only cover the "whole" levels, not the 1/2 levels.
Explode The Code Placement Tests are designed to assess students encoding and decoding skills. All tests can be given in either a group setting or individually, with the exception of Test 4, which must be administered individually. Included are directions for administering and analyzing results; answer keys and reproducible test forms.

The book is well made and it helps kids to learn new words as well as spelling
I did not give five stars due to not using the Beyond the Code materials for comprehension and reasoning skills which accompany Books 1-4.
Note: My youngest pupil does not prefer to write words on the 3/4-inch line scale which is normally used for primary grades.
I personally think you will not need to supplement S to W&R. It is a very complete program using lots of learning approaches so I really doubt your student(s) will fatigue from the program or need anything to switch to for a bit or supplement with. I would focus 100% on S to W & R and enjoy the progress your students make.
This recommendation comes from a mom who is about to embark on her own SWR journey. But my student is an alum of Logic of English Foundations A-C, which was based off of the learning methods of SWR. My guy had lots o fun learning with this method. We r using SWR to go beyond what LOE provided him.
I would focus entirely on SWR before you decide to complement/supplement with anything. It's a wonderful method of learning and is completely stand alone in its thoroughness. It's amazing. If only I had learned phonograms and such as a student rather than having to learn it as an adult, my spelling especially, would be all the better for it...
Best wishes!
good for phonics practice
My dyslexic child struggles with reading and writing however he loves these workbooks.
