How to Use The Sound Beginnings Program
Q & A on Teaching Reading
Sample - Lesson 5
Sample - Lesson 17
Sound Beginnings: Complete Package w/CD
$89.00
By Julia Fogassy. Complete program includes: teacher manual, worksheets, tablet, composition notebook, phonogram cards, Bible Story Reader, CD, and pencil w/gripper. Here is a program that makes teaching reading, writing, spelling and phonics easy. Based on "The Writing Road to Reading," Sound Beginnings offers step-by-step teaching dialogue and well organized daily lesson plans. The fourth edition features a 2000-word spelling list with suggested weekly schematic for its use. As designed, the program takes four years to complete--one year for the scripted lessons, and three years to work through the spelling list. Ideally, these four years would be first, second, third and fourth grade, however, some families begin in kindergarten and others begin in second grade. Materials for additional students can be purchased separately.

Early Reader.jpg Early Reader's Bible
$17.00
By Gilbert Beers. Recommended as part of the Sound Beginnings Program, this is a very good beginning reader. Over 500 pages and sixty-four Bible stories from Old and New Testaments, all written within a standard first grade vocabulary. None of the lessons are keyed to any story in the reader, so the program may be used effectively with any other reading material. This is a Protestant publication, so there are a couple small problems (for details, see the Introduction to Sound Begininngs in the articles section of this web site), but the "Catholic" version has the identical problems.

The First Whole Book of Diagrams
$26.00
By Mary Daly. The author says, "Diagramming is a powerful tool for understanding syntax because it is both systematic and visual... Once you understand diagramming, you will use it, at least subconsciously, every time you meet a sentence with more than two clauses. It will give you that firm grip on syntax that brings you to the end of a complex sentence with your thoughts in order." Includes step-by-step teacher's section, clear examples, and a truly elevated content. See also "Elementary Diagramming Worktext" by Daly.
