Building Blocks for Reading
Textbook
Children learning to read a second language often encounter problems because they do not have the pre-reading skills needed to be successful. This book has been written to prepare students and guide them into becoming readers at an early stage. The use of spelling patterns will help students become familiarized with words that they will use in their grade level textbooks. All students can learn! It is just a matter of providing them with the tools they need. We welcome our children to this reading series.
