GET SET FOR THE CODE BOOK B 2ND EDITION

Description

Get Set for the Code “B” is the second of three Orton-Gillingham based preliteracy primers which together (A, B, & C) introduce the consonant letters, preparing students for Explode the Code workbooks 1-8. This book “B” focuses on lowercase consonants d, h, j, n, p, and s (their capitals taught briefly) and their sound-symbol relationships. Cute black-and-white illustrations are paired with fun activities kids love, such as matching, tracing, drawing, coloring, saying, and copying letters, pictures, and their sounds. Lesson pages follow a predictable pattern, allowing children to work independently much of the time while building foundational reading skills such as left-to-right tracking, fine motor and hand-eye coordination, and visual and auditory discrimination. Each lesson does include a 2-page section of auditory exercises requiring the teacher to read directions from one side of the student book while the student listens and works on the other side. For example, “I am thinking of something that tastes good. It has a bun around it and is fun to eat at a baseball game. What is it?” (Student locates picture and says “hot dog.”) “Put your finger on the hot dog. What sound does hot dog begin with? Draw a box around the hot dog." This invaluable training helps kids learn to listen carefully and follow directions.
