Corrective Reading Decoding Level B1, Student Book

This is the student workbook for a good remedial reading program designed to correct poor reading habits and help a child learn to decode words better and faster. Fluency levels rise as decoding improves. The complete set with teacher materials and student text is required to use this program. Although this is one level of an over-all program, it can stand as a unit all on its own. Students with more severe problems should start in an earlier level and those needing further work could move on to level C. There is a placement test located in all the teacher guides and can sometimes be found on the Internet. This program works well with a minimum of a third grade level child or above who has some reading problems and does not read at an adequate rate. The stories are fun and relevant. Lessons involve "chapters" of a high interest story each day. The child looks forward to finding out the next installment of the story while learning valuable skills in decoding words within text. It is easy to use-no lesson preparation. Everything is "scripted" and tells you what to say and do and what is required of the student. This program was designed for a classroom situation, but adapts very easily to homeschooling. This program brought my struggling 3rd grader up to grade level in just 65 lessons.
