READING FUN WITH WORD FAMILIES

This is a mini reading program with 100 progressive reading stories to promote coding and decoding of words.This reading program is designed to introduce 4 and 5 year olds to the wonderful world of reading.  It can also aid a child who is experiencing reading difficulties. It may  be used as a good source of supplemental reading materials. Along with teaching a child to read, the program can also promote success in reading and enhance a child’s confidence and  desire to read.  A list of introduction and review words are presented at the beginning of each story.  These introduction words may be used as a spelling lesson which would combine reading and spelling.  This reinforces reading words in content and helps to make spelling grades obtainable at a 100% level.It is advisable that a strong phonics  program which emphasizes consonant sounds, vowel sounds and consonant blend sounds accompany this reading program. I endeavored to make these stories short, informative and entertaining for the child.  Having taught for 30 years and having used this method to help children read, I KNOW IT WORKS!
