A-way to Read 2 Laurie Mott

This book contains many small books that were created for beginning readers who rely too much on picture clues. By having words only, it forces readers to look at the letters in words. Every book contains only basic sight words and words with three phonemes (one book has words with 4 phonemes). The title shows which sight words are in the book and every book has decodable words for all five short vowel sounds. After reading each page, the growing reader decides what picture should be on the page to go along with the words. This not only shows that they can read the words, but that they understand the main idea of each page. After completing the book, students can show off their art work by reading the book to friends and family. This helps to build fluency and confidence.
