Target words are first introduced within the Word Recognition activity. Posttests —The Posttests measure retention of each group of 10 words and are included in the Word Recognition books.

Vocabulary Exercises —Vocabulary Exercises reinforce recognition and understanding of the meaning of the target words through matching words to illustrations. These reproducible activities are presented in a variety of formats. Stories and Stories Activities —Five storybooks containing 50 stories allow students to practice using the newly learned target words while listening to, reading, and discussing the stories.

Character Illustrations aid in comprehension. Stories Activities provide pre-reading and post-reading exercises to strengthen comprehension at the sentence, paragraph, and story level.

Reading and Social Skills Games —Games reinforce the functional vocabulary and promote generalization by requiring students to use reading skills in a social setting.

Students also develop social skills and a basic understanding of various game playing procedures. The Games include a full color game board, playing pieces, and dice. Word Cards — word cards are included in each kit.

The lesson numbers are in the upper right corner. Students can experience stories with carefully controlled vocabulary words used in real-world contexts.
