Get Ready for the Code: A Primer for the Explode the Code Series - Book A

by Nancy Hall

Get Ready for the Code - Book A introduces students to the sounds of initial consonants, b, f, m, k, r and t.  Children will learn the sound of each letter, letter formation by tracing the letter, and letter matching activities.  New exercises reinforce letter formation, phonemic awareness, and sound-letter correspondence.  The Teacher's Guide provides listening exercises.

Explode The Code series provides a sequential, systematic approach to phonics in which students blend sounds to build vocabulary and read words, phrases, sentences, and stories. Frequent review of previously learned concepts helps increase retention. Each workbook in this series contains exercises that incorporate reading, writing, matching and copying. The consistent format of the books helps facilitate independent work. This series includes primers—Get Ready for The Code, Get Set for The Code, and Go for The Code—which introduce initial consonant sounds. In addition, Beyond The Code provides a comprehension component introducing basic comprehension skills with phonetically controlled stories.
