Examples of humorous, interactive and meaningful reading text included in the programs.
Using humorous, interactive and meaningful reading text makes reading instruction more fun and more meaningful for your students. It makes language come alive for students and keeps them motivated to learn. You will also be able to talk with your students about real issues in their lives, or in your life if you wish, in relation to the reading text. Please have a good time with the funny sentences as your students learn important reading and spelling skills.
There are blank spaces in each lesson and in each lesson's homework questions so you can write funny sentences for your students to read when you understand how to write phonetically regular (decodable) sentences.
Whenever the student used the term "you" in a sentence, you pretend that he or she is talking to you directly. It's more fun that way.
