Explore ed pronunciation rules, showing that ed signals past action with three sounds depending on the word’s last sound. Practice reading sight words and sentences.
Reading lesson 42 reinforces forming plurals and verb forms by adding s or es, using examples like catches and jumps, and guides daily reading aloud with sight words.

Learn about root words, base words, prefixes, suffixes, and ness, with examples like sadder, saddest, happier, happiness, good, better, best, and the effect of y endings on two-syllable words.
Learn to form adverbs by adding -ly (swift to swiftly, happy to happily). Master irregular plurals like woman to women while practicing sight words and reading sentences.
Learn how multisyllable words ending in y change to i before adding -ed or -ly, with examples like empty, emptied, family, and busy, and practice reading the sentences aloud.
Learn how adding the suffix enn changes a base word to mean 'more like it,' with examples such as stiffen and sunken, and practice reading related sight words and sentences.

Practice decoding decodable words and sight words, and learn the apostrophe s possession rule through sentences about the Smiths and family scenes.
Master the -ful suffix, meaning full of, with examples like thankful, hopeful, meaningful, thoughtful, fistful, restful, useful, and boxful; practice reading these words, then read the sentences aloud.
Master the long a sound by pairing a and y, and reinforce reading through guided practice with words like welcome, table, Susan, enough, and serve, then read longer sentences aloud.
Explore the diphthong and its sliding sound, then practice reading with word lists and sight words before reading sentences aloud.
This lesson teaches the aw word family with examples like saw, claw, draw, straw, lawn, shawl, and awful, guiding students to read and practice sentences aloud.
Celebrate completing 60 lessons and becoming a confident reader, then start course four with new learning adventures and check Amazon for a spelling book resource.
This course is the third of five, and includes Lessons 41-60 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. At this point, a student is reading at an early level. Here we build and continue learning.
This Course (#3) begins with Lesson 41 and the twenty new lessons will teach words containing suffixes: "ed," "es," "s," "er," "est," "ness," "y," "ly," "ily," "ies," and "ied." We will also learn more vowel and consonant combinations and patterns.
There are five courses, each containing 20 reading lessons on video. This course is appropriate for all ages, young to old, and all levels of beginning readers, if they are alert and able to focus attention. All ages enjoy the adorable dog, Buddy, who points to the words being read, as well as the pleasant music.
In Course #3 students print the following:
*Print the Reading Lessons (41-60), 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!
