Intervention 1–2

This dynamic, adaptable supplemental reading program focuses on the practice of phonemic awareness and phonemic decoding in the context of reading and writing, with less emphasis on isolated skill practice.

Students receive explicit, systematic instruction in phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension, along with daily opportunities to apply skills and strategies they are learning in text reading and writing. Student assessments and daily recorded observations help determine which instructional activities teachers select for each lesson's five components—fluency building, assessment, word work, supported reading, and supported writing.

The DVD offers video modeling of 34 of the activities described in the book.
