UPDATED Early Reader and Developing Reader Curricula
We have updated our Early and Developing Reader Curriculum with many new stories, more writing activities, and guide to how each lesson aligns with Core Standards.
The Early Reader Curriculum is ideal for Grade 1 students who know many of their letter sounds and forms. Students will have the chance to review or practice letter sounds and letter forms before moving into Blends, Digraphs, and the Chunk strategy. Through a series of games and fun multisensory activities students work on HF words, 29 Blends and Digraphs, and 64 Chunks, gaining mastery in decoding and spelling. The Early Reader Story Collection includes high-interest mostly fiction stories in chapter book format with clean large font. Story comprehension activities include retell, putting events in order, direct reference questions, some vocabulary questions, and adding illustrations to the story.
Developing Reader Curriculum is ideal for Grades 2 and older. The Skills Practice book begins with Blends and Digraphs, then moves into the Chunk Strategy. Students work their way to decoding 2, 3, and even 4 syllable words using 29 Blends/Digraphs and 64 Chunks. Our fun Blend Switch and Chunk Switch games help students build speed and flexibility in their decoding. The Developing Reader Story Collection has high-interest nonfiction stories. Story comprehension questions cover main idea, inference, vocabulary, direct reference, and short answer. Students conclude each nonfiction unit with a research and writing project, using the story as a jumping off point.
Differentiating instruction:
Skill levels vary within any classroom, and teachers must find ways to reach students where they are and bring them along. This goal is made easy with our Early and Developing Reader curricula because differentiation is built into the program. Teachers can present a lesson concept to the whole class, and the student Skills Practice books give students practice with the concept that is appropriate to their skill level: Early Reader students get more practice applying the lesson concept at a basic level, while Developing Readers take the concept a little deeper. For example, ALL students learn how Chunks work, and how to extend the use of Chunks. ALL students practice these concepts by playing the Match-O Game. However, Early Reader Skills Practice books have students work on 4 Levels of mostly 1 syllable words, while Developing Reader Skills Practice books have students do 2 Levels of 1-2 syllable words and then 3 levels of 2- 4 syllable words. Developing Reader stories are also more challenging, with more text, longer sentences and words, and more challenging comprehension questions.
