We All Can Read: Kindergarten to Second Grade Phonics Program for Teaching Children to Read and Spell

We All Can Read: K – 2 Edition is a proven, science-based method for teaching children in the beginning grades to read and spell. This systematic, step-by-step phonics program is based upon the most consistent and widely-documented finding of reading research in the field of beginning reading instruction: the ability to read words quickly and accurately without reference to context is the single most important and accurate predictor of whether or not a student will become a successful reader. The book incorporates a vast body of research which identifies crucial skills children must master in order to become independent readers. This one book constitutes a complete phonics program in itself and is a tool for teachers, parents, paraprofessionals, volunteer tutors, and others who desire to teach young children to read and spell. There is no separate teacher’s manual to purchase; page-by-page, detailed instructions necessary to implement this program are found in the Teacher’s Guide which begins on page 233 of this book.All lessons in this book are linked in a sequential and hierarchical order. Constant review is interwoven into the curriculum. Every principle introduced is repeatedly reviewed from the point at which it is first introduced through to the last exercise. Follow these exercises through to their completion, and you will accomplish the life-changing and miraculous act of teaching a child to read and spell! SPECIAL FEATURES OF WE ALL CAN READ: K – 2 Edition •The program is complete in one book.•The introduction of words is carefully sequenced. Lessons consist of decodable text; words are introduced only after the phonetic principles governing their pronunciation are taught. •Constant review is built into the curriculum. Once a principle is initially presented, it is systematically reinforced in subsequent review lessons which are strategically spaced throughout the remaining exercises. In addition a series of fourteen Word Review Lists and 83 quizzes are published to insure that children master each step before proceeding to subsequent lessons. •Each unit contains hundreds of words that illustrate and reinforce the concept being taught. Phonics involves mastering a sequential set of skills and often requires a great deal of repetition before each discrete skill-set is learned. •This curriculum integrates the most current, science-based research regarding what constitutes an effective beginning reading program; it is developed specifically for children in kindergarten through the second grade.•Children learn to read and spell; they grow enormously in their self-esteem, and they enjoy the learning process.
