This course is the second of five, and includes Lessons 1-20 of the Ready, Set, Read: Reading Program (100 lessons in all).
Ready, Set, Read, taught on video by teacher and author, Vera Clark, teaches a person how to read fluently, using the phonics-based, Ready, Set, Read: Reading Program. Beginning with learning the sounds of the letters, then learning to blend letters to make words, I then teach 100 reading lessons leading to fluent reading at a 6th grade level. (Each lesson is about 10 min.)
This Course (#2) begins with Lesson 21 with words containing 'st' and 'sk,' and each lesson teaches new skills and letter combinations, such as 'nd' 'nt' 'fl' 'br' 'bl' 'sm' 'tw' 'sh' 'th' 'ch' 'tch' 'wh' 'qu' 'ee' 'ea' and 'oo' using them in sentences. In this course we will learn to use 'ing,' 'ang,' 'ong,' and 'ink,' 'ank,' and 'onk'. We will also learn to read contractions.
There are five courses, each containing 20 lessons on video. This course is appropriate for all ages young to old, if they are alert and able to focus attention. All ages enjoy the adorable dog, Buddy, as well as the pleasant music.
In Course #1 students print the following:
*Success Chart — your "log" to chart student's progress. This chart motivates the student. Parents or tutors may offer an incentive to the student for reaching certain goals.
*Flash cards for learning the sounds of the letters.
*Print the List of ABC sounds and pictures (which contains the same info as the flash cards, but in list form).
*Print the Lesson Index, which lists the skills being taught in each lesson.
*Print the Reading Lessons (1-20), for student practice and independent reading.
In Course #2 students print the following:
*Print the Reading Lessons (21-40), for student practice and independent reading.
Finally, you have an easy, fun way to learn to read, with short lessons, which motivates your student to learn! Let Vera Clark teach your student to be a confident reader with Ready, Set, Read!
