This fourth kit contains 30 lessons. Each Lesson Brick features the key word in a thoughtfully illustrated, four-line verse. Students recite lessons as chants. Follow-up worksheets are designed to make folded up Balanced Booklets for students to collect and reread. Included are several reading, writing, printing and drawing exercises.
Students learn up to ten word family members per lesson.
Pattern writing is promoted. All photocopying is single-sided. 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.
