I have three reading programs that will be used in my classroom this year.  Your child will be using one of the following reading programs.

 

Edmark - For those non-phonemic readers.  This is a sight based reading program that helps students develop a strong foundation of sight based reading words for functional reading.

 

Sound Sensible:  This is the beginning program for our phonemic reading series. We will explore the letters of the alphabet, the sounds that letters make, rhyming words, word families, writing skills, listening skills, segmenting skills and learning key words to help us begin to read.

 

S.P.I.R.E (Specialized Program Individualizing Reading Excellence) - This program has several levels.  SPIRE lessons are designed to address phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.  

 

**All of the programs integrate multi-sensory activities to help systematically address reading skills.
