Word building Book
Word building is the third step in learning to read. This book reviews the letters of the alphabet, introduces consonants and vowels, beginning, middle and ending sounds. It has exercises to build nonsense words, three letter words, and letter blending for four letter words.
Printing Program
This book introduces the correct direction and formation of upper case and lower case letters. Your child starts with warm up exercises, traces and prints the letters on the page, and practises following the suggestions.
Number Book 11-20
Learning the number shapes, names, and quantities is the third step, and creating number stories is the fourth step in building math skills. Each number is introduced with the symbol and quantity, a tracing activity, a say it-make it-write it activity, a printing page, and a review with creating the quantity and identifying the symbol. Your child uses their number skills creating stories with story mats and creature cards to build, practise, and understand math
