Explode the Code Book 7, which is for use in the elementary grades, continues to reinforce the concepts necessary for intermediate reading. The workbook goes through a series of lessons of approximately 8 pages in length. These lessons follow a consistent format designed to reinforce phonetic patterns in a sequential manner. Within each lesson children have extensive practice in matching, reading, copying, spelling, and writing sounds and words. In this more advanced level, the tasks include reading a story and then answering comprehension questions, making words by joining syllables, and building and strengthening vocabulary through crossword puzzles. Amusing illustrations, drawn by children, highlight the lesson exercises. The simple directions and consistent format allow students to progress independently. The workbooks provide teachers and students with an instructive and entertaining program to supplement any reading and spelling program. Book 7 primarily focuses on soft c and g; silent consonant letters; ear, ei, eigh words; digraph ph. Grades 3-4 |
