The Advantage Phonics Series helps prepare children for reading instruction. It offers strong skill instruction along with motivational features in an easy-to-use format. As outlined in the federally mandated No Child Left Behind Act, a research-based reading curriculum should include five key components:
- phonemic awareness
- phonics
- vocabulary development
- reading fluency
- reading comprehension
While this series addresses several of these essential components, it most clearly focuses on phonics instruction –helping children connect the sounds of language to the written symbols that represent them.
Skill Review and Reinforcement
