Description
The written code of the English language is a phonetic code, meaning that symbols are used to represent sounds. Put another way, letters are pictures of sounds. For example, the ‘c’ in cat is a picture of the /k/ sound. Sometimes, two or more letters form a single sound picture. For example, the ‘oe’ in home is a picture of the /oe/ sound.
The Step-by-Step Reader series introduces sound pictures in steps. The Best Gift, book 9 of the series, introduces the c, k, and ck, spellings of the <k> sound; qu and x; and the high frequency word ‘put’.
Like all books in the Step-by-Step Readers series, The Best Gift features an easy-to-read font and bright pictures that are meant to engage young readers. This book is sixteen pages in length, and includes more words and more sentences per page than the earlier books in the series.
Step-by-Step Readers are part of the Step-by-Step Reading Program, a complete curriculum that includes two workbooks and a curriculum book. Level A Workbook 1 covers Steps 1-5, and Level A Workbook 2 covers steps 6-10. The Level A Curriculum book covers all levels and includes assessments, whiteboard exercises, and activity tiles.
