Book Description

"Our All About Reading program is unique in the world of language arts because it is the only multisensory reading program that will teach your child all the fundmentals of reading. We have no gaps--just a full, rich, research-centered program that is guaranteed to teach your child to read. Our pre-reading program teaches five essential pre-reading skills that we call the Big Five Skills. Research shows that these skills prevent reading failure by educating pre-readers in how language works--in essence, familiarizing children with written text and how it is used, so they are prepared to read. In Levels 1-4, our program will teach your child all five Key Components of Reading: Phonological Awareness, Phonics and Decoding, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Reading Comprehension. Every one of these components, when taught in concert with the others, is essential to your child's success in reading. This totally integrated approach to teaching reading ensures your child will not only learn to read with All About Reading, but will learn to read well. and since reading is at the heart of all learning, fluency in this skill is one of the most important gifts you can give your child."--Teacher's Manual, back cover
