Really Great Reading Student Practice
Student practice is vital. It forms the bedrock of strong reading skills. By mastering letter-sound connections through practice, students can decode words, read fluently, and comprehend better. This practice also improves spelling and writing abilities, empowering students to confidently tackle unfamiliar words. In essence, phonics practice is the cornerstone of effective reading and language development.
In all our lessons, students learn to practice what experienced and good readers do naturally, which is to pay attention to every word, read with a high rate of accuracy, and use strategies for attacking unfamiliar and multi-syllable words. Our lessons, Launchpad, Countdown, Blast, HD Word, and Boost students practice phonemic awareness, phonics concepts, and word attack skills. They also practice reading accurately, which translates to better comprehension.
