Explode the Code Book 3 (2nd Edition)

A phonics best-seller for over 30 years, Explode the Code series has helped millions of students nationwide build the essential literacy skills needed for reading success: phonological awareness, decoding, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and spelling. This research-based and teacher-tested program exceeds "No Child Left Behind" requirements and National Reading Panel Standards. The exercises in Explode The Code Book 3 begin with words that present y as a vowel, then progress to long vowels with silent-e, and finally to consonant and vowel digraphs. Students practice blending sounds to read and write one-syllable words that include digraphs and long vowel sounds. In addition, several review lessons are included. Skills Addressed • y as a vowel • Silent-e • Consonant digraphs (sh, th, wh, ch, -tch, -ng, -ck) • Vowel digraphs (ee, ea, ai, ay, oa, ow) Grades K-4. From Educator's Publishing Service.
