Sam's Secure Store
The Reading for All Learners “Little Books” program is a sequence of 141 color coded books. There are 8 sets of books from Kindergarten to 3.6 reading level. Each set contains up to 27 books. The Little Books were researched, revised and field tested to provide high success and fun learning experiences in beginning reading. They directly correlate to core curriculum and mandates set by No Child Left Behind. Each book is built on the skills learned in previous books. For an in-depth look at what makes the Little Books program so effective download the Anatomy of a Little Book.
The Reading for All Learners “Phonemic Awareness Program” was designed for anyone teaching reading. Many schools use it successfully as well as parents and tutors. Phonemic Awareness is a fundamental reading skill. Typically this program is used before beginning the Little Books program. The Phonemic Awareness Program is intended to be used with preschool and kindergarten age learners. The Phonemic Awareness Program is a complete classroom package which includes a sturdy spiral bound book. When open, the students and instructor sit opposite so the student sees the pictures and the instructor can read the scripted text (direct instruction model) for each lesson. Lessons are administered in small group settings or on an individual basis.
The seven “Fluency Builders” mystery novels include 54 lessons that effectively address core reading requirements for fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Each of the novels have teenagers in the central roles and are set in different times, places, and cultures, from the Eighteenth Century Caribbean to future space travel. This range of settings prepares the student to make the transition from recreation to content area reading. A proven program for making the transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.”
This 175-lesson program applies the research on reading instruction to students of all ages. The program links the sounds for 51 phonemes to core literacy skills of reading, spelling, writing and oral fluency. The program supports intense direct tutoring and small-group instruction. The program has been very successful with older students failing in reading. Too often, these students need the decoding skills of earlier grades, but refuse to use materials they consider juvenile in both text and graphic content. This program successfully supports instruction that delivers the needed literary competence and confidence. For each of the 175 lessons, the program includes blackline masters of the practice pages.
