Two booklets, one on short vowel sounds and one on long vowel sounds, support the principle that practice reinforces learning. The contents of these books augment the lessons taught in the CD-ROM program. Students are introduced to letter sounds. Students are given practice in identifying those sounds. Students apply those sounds in spelling and writing words.
Students review the sounds they have been taught.
Students are tested on the sounds covered in the lesson. Each page of activity in these books, however, is a self-contained unit of study and may be assigned individually in any order that suits the requirements of the teacher or the needs of the student. The Reproducible Fun Activities section is included in the School Time Phonics Program and is also offered as a separate product. The Fun Activities in the School Time Phonics Program are only accessible to students if they finish the lesson for which the activities apply. Offering the Fun Activities as a separate product enables the teacher or student to be flexible in reviewing or reinforcing the lessons learned in class or from the CD-ROM product.
