This first kit contains 18 lessons. Each Lesson Brick features the key word in a delightfully illustrated, four-line verse. Students recite lessons as chants. Follow-up worksheets are designed to make charming little Balanced Booklets for students to collect and reread. Included are several reading, writing, printing and drawing exercises.
Students learn a total of six word family members per lesson.
Double-sided photocopying is required. Smaller bricks are used for word wall display, an important strategy that gives abstract sight words the exposure they require. The accompanying illustration provides a learning advantage. Using yarn to trace key words is recommended for stimulating tactile intelligence. Kits contain a teacher's guide and photocopy masters for constructing components.
