About the Series:
Each title introduces a different
word family as well several high frequency words and the beginning skills for
reading.
Each title offers students varied opportunity to develop a wider range of decoding
skills, consonant and vowel recognition as well as concepts of print. Students
will learn to discriminate onsets from rimes, utilize picture cues, develop
a strong sense of graphophonics and semantics. As students begin to read and
understand more about the onset and rime connection found in word families,
they will begin to think of words as not only a series of individual letters
and sounds, but as easily recognizable segments or chunks of language. This
greatly enhances word attack and decoding skills. Vocabulary, sight word recognition,
and comprehension will increase as well with the introduction of each new book.
