Theme: Ice and Snow
Number of weeks included in each book: 9 weeks (36 weeks total with all 4 books)
Number of pages: 272 in the Student Book and 64 in the Teacher's Guide.
Books 1 and 2:
Students are focusing on three-letter words and more simple letter blends to make reading more fluent and focusing on speed and mastery. These are called CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant) and would be appropriate for around kindergarten to Grade 1, depending on the child and their development. Book 2 will begin to bridge into the next level or reading.
Math begins to teach the concepts of place value, money, time, etc. This is designed to be a big picture conceptual introduction, book 3 and 4 will continue to develop these skills and understanding.
Book 3:
Students are focusing on four-six letter words and phonics rules such as: silent e, y word endings that make the I and E long sound, -ay says A long sound, etc. It also focuses on more than and less than, money, time, days of the week, place value, sequencing, and more! This would be appropriate for advanced Kindergarten or Grade 1, depending on the child's development and the goals of the family.
Book 4:
Students are focusing on four-letter words, compound words, and how vowels can combine to make diagraphs (new sounds). These are called CVVC words (consonant, vowel, vowel, consonant, such as bear) and would be appropriate for advanced Kindergarten or Grade 1, depending on the child's development and the goals of the family.
Expansion Pack
Check out our full printed expansion pack which includes posters, a clock, a calendar, the place value shapes, Spooner Bucks (our own made-up currency to teach the concept of money with a global mindset) and more all in full stunning color. Available print only here.
Practice Pack
Check out our card stock practice pack. These are large flashcards with a focus on phonics, handwriting, and spelling. They use the same words that are taught in the student book to reinforce phonics rules that are taught. They have a place to trace it, write it, and read and use it in a sentence. We recommend hole punching the upper left and putting them on a ring. These are tons of fun, in full color, and available in print only here.
Mini Books
Every week we put together a mini book to go along with the words your child has been learning. These are included as cut outs in your Ice and Snow student workbook. However, due to popular request, we now also offer them in full color, fully assembled. We print them, cut them, staple them, and shrink wrap them so they are ready to go with your unit! Just open and read! Available in print only here.
How to place my kids:
YES! If you answered yes to all of the questions above, then your child is ready for Burrows and Holes, the first book in our Ready to Read series!
NO: If you answered no to some of these, you'll want to start somewhere in our Letters and Numbers series.
This sounds too easy: If your child is already reading three letter words, we recommend waiting and starting with book 2 or 3 of Ready to Read, which will be more advanced reading and help transition from early reading to grade 1 level reading so they are ready for early reader in our full units.
What about our Pre-Reader in the units?
Our Pre-Reader has now become more of an activity pack to go along with the lessons. If you were doing a full unit, you would simply add those two pages along to your student notebook and do it together to tie the lessons into the unit you are learning about as a family! Easy!
