Description
The written code of the English language is a phonetic code, meaning that symbols represent sounds. Put another way, letters are pictures of sounds. For example, the ‘c’ in cat is a picture of the /k/ sound. Sometimes, two or more letters form a single sound picture. For example, the ‘oe’ in home is a picture of the /oe/ sound.
The Step-by-Step Reading Program introduces sound pictures in steps. Level A of the program teaches all of the single-letter sound pictures, and begins to introduce more complex sound pictures formed by two letters. In each case, students are taught that letters are pictures of sounds.
Step-by-Step Reader Level A Workbook 2 covers steps 6-10. Each step includes:
- a pre-lesson that introduces sounds associated with certain letters or letter groups.
- a review that summarizes the pre-lesson and introduces high-frequency words.
- An assessment that gauges learning.
