The lesson is scripted and the process is the same for each lesson. Lessons are based on the recommendations of the National Reading Panel, and are easy to do.
Each lesson includes a word wheel to identify words using a specific sound, and making cards on those words to be used during the lesson to practice sounding out the words and spelling the words. Knowledge of the meaning of the words is checked, and the words are used to write a story that is then read by the child to develop reading fluency and confidence.
Each lesson follows the same structure so the steps match the recommended components established by The National Reading Panel.
