Publisher's description - Level E(7-8) Library - Learn To Read Books! 3.2
 
 Sponsored links

Level E(7-8) Library - Learn To Read Books contains six level 7 books followed by six level 8 books.
 Books at levels 7 and 8 are relatively simple books. Sentences are a little longer and some of them contain clauses. Events and facts are presented sequentially. The correspondence between text and pictures, found in levels 7 and 8, helps beginning readers experience success. Level E books are designed for children who are just beginning to learn how to read – like children in Grade One or children who are learning English as an additional language.


Each book presents one story. When using any of our Learn To Read Books, the beginning reader should place the mouse cursor just below each word and then point to each word in succession while reading. Clicking just below any word causes the word to light up and allows the child to hear the word spoken aloud. The words have been recorded in Manitoba, Canada. If words are pronounced differently in the country/region where you live, simply use the custom recording feature and record the words in your own voice. Custom recorded audio can be transferred to other devices &/or various "Learn To Read" apps from Visions Encoded for the Mac and iOS platforms. The transfer can be done using email or iTunes file sharing.


Also included in the Learn To Read Library are high-frequency word flashcards for each story. We suggest that the sight words be practiced before a story is attempted. If a child has difficulty with a word, he/she can simply click the word to hear it!

Since words in both the sight words section and in the story can be clicked to be heard, it is possible for a child to practice the words and read the story without assistance from a teacher or parent. To turn the sound off, simply turn the sound off on your computer.



To learn to read, children need:

1. to learn letter sounds
2. to memorize high-frequency sight words
3. to read books at their level


Through the use of Learn to Read Books and a letter-sound app such as "Z is for Zebra", these three key components of learning to read can be taught and practiced on an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac.

The authors of Learn to Read Books are Celesta Thiessen and Francie Humby. Both are certified teachers. Celesta has a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Education . She has written early chapter books, novels for teens and for adults, and numerous short stories. Francie has a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Education, and a Master of Education.
