Use the Essentials Reader to build fluency, develop higher-order thinking skills, and increase students’ background knowledge!<\/span><\/p>\n

From acorn hunting to the history of chocolate, Essentials Reader contains high-interest texts that target students’ comprehension and critical thinking skills. This reader grows in complexity as new phonograms, spelling rules, and high-frequency words are taught. Stories range from text using only single-letter phonograms to poems to full articles.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the beginning of each story, teachers and students will find a list of \u201cchallenging\u201d words to decode before reading the text. Decoding these words prior to reading the text helps students focus on comprehending the content rather than sounding out words.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Essentials Reader is 100% decodable – without guessing and without sight word memorization – when introduced as directed in the Essentials Teacher\u2019s Guides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
