Get ready to make reading your student’s favorite subject of the day! This is a delightful, developmentally appropriate method for learning to read. All About Reading is a scripted, open-and-go program, developed for busy parents, teachers, and tutors who want to teach reading in the most effective way possible.
Teaching Multiple Students?
Each additional student will need:
What does my student need to know before beginning Level 4?
What will my student learn in Level 4?
Your student will learn exciting new concepts, including words with multiple suffixes, fifteen new phonograms, and methods for decoding multi-syllable words – and continue to establish a firm foundation for a lifetime of learning. Every component of reading is taught: decoding (phonics and structural analysis), vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Below is a sampling in each area.
