In-depth study of letter shapes, sounds and word building follows, with high teacher/pupil interactivity. Comprising of 87 of the 180 step-by-step daily lessons, the guide provides whole group, small group and independent work guidelines and additional VAKT emphasis. Expanded Assessment and careful Intervention provision helps children in need of additional support. The CD provides a rich range of valuable resources. The balance of the 180 lesson plans are completed in Volume 2 Teacher's Guide.
