Explode The Code Book 1, Literacy & Phonics, 2nd Edition

Get your elementary grade readers up to speed on phonics with Explode The Code Books! Based on the Orton-Gillingham approach, this multisensory "code-centric program" provides direct, systematic lessons that teach students how to read/write/speak various words, phrases, sentences, and stories all on their own.

Explode The Code Book 1 introduces students to the sounds of short vowels (beginning with sort a, then short i, short u, short e, and short o). Through a variety of pen-to-paper exercises, students will get to practice blending sounds to read and write CVC (consonant/vowel/consonant pattern) words.

Softcover phonics workbook is recommended for Grades 1 to 4 (with included accommodations for English Language Learners and struggling readers). Enjoy the full Explode The Code Book series as desired (available in Books 1 to 6, each also with a 1/2 number for additional practice, and Books 7 and 8; each sold separately).
