We have finally got in a good pattern with our reading lessons. 100 Easy lessons was working marginally well. Developing a CM reading plan using Treadwell's readers was working marginally well. The perfect fit has been developing a CM reading plan using the readers from LLATL blue. If I did not have these available I would have purchased Pathway readers for first grade.
Sam benefits from the controlled vocabulary of these readers. There are fewer words to learn in order for him to read each new book and we have been working a steady pace of a book per week.
Each week we...
-Introduce the book and read it together.
-play games with the word cards
- sound out new words and introduce any new sight words.
-Create sentences with our word cards
-create new words using word families
-write a word from dictation
Each day...
- we read the book together having him read more and more with each reading.
-we play games with the word cards
- and we do one of the other exercises
spending a total of about 15 minutes per day with a reading lesson
His reading lessons have been reinforced with AAS spelling book 1 which we do daily and using ETC online.
We now have a perfect fit.
