Storybook Phonics I offers a story-based approach to reading fluency through the use of stories that contain regular phonemic patterns. Rhyming patterns and colorfully illustrated pages engage students. Words in the stories are highlighted as they are read aloud. Lessons focus on initial consonants and initial consonant clusters. Questions develop memory skills and are centered around letter groups presented in the lesson. Games reinforce concepts presented in the lesson. Storybook Phonics I is ideal for independent and team study with computers and is compatible with interactive whiteboards for whole-class instruction.
Storybook Phonics I introduces students to the following:
- focus on fluency with phonics and oral reading
- activities that reinforce words from the stories
- activities that facilitate reading comprehension
- interactive games
