| Glass Analysis
Click here to learn more! |
The core of the
Glass-Analysis for Decoding Only program
is a method for clustering letters within words.
Each cluster is a combination of letters (ie "at" "Ick"
or "tion") producing consistent sound-symbol
relationships.
Each of the levels of Glass-Analysis kits directs
teachers to condition students to recognize and use
the consistent clusters within words. Each kit
contains thirty sets of clusters, each coded by
difficulty level. |

students, enabling them to increase their reading
comprehension skills.
With the Multiple Skills Series, you can diagnose
reading comprehension problems and provide targeted
practice that helps your students refine their
skills. Assessment tools enable the placement of
students at an appropriate level in the series, as
well as quantify the growth of their skills over
time.

| Using
Primary
Phonics teachers can
help students internalize the
alphabetic principal: that letters
in written words map the sounds of
spoken words in systematic ways.
This program accommodates all
students, allowing them to work at
their own pace, and includes many
opportunities for re-teaching and
reinforcement. Upon completion of
the program students will have
achieved essential reading skills,
including phonemic awareness,
phonics, fluency and comprehension.

| Right Into Reading

Right into Reading
provides a solid foundation in basic sounds and a
wide variety of readings from the earliest level.
Phonics skills are introduced in a carefully ordered
sequence of “bite-size” lessons so that students can
progress easily and successfully from one reading
level to the next. The stories and selections
contain only the sounds that have been taught. This
means that students can fully concentrate on
understanding and enjoying what they read.
Each reading passage is followed by comprehension
questions and writing practice. Illustrations are
engaging for learners at all levels. |

Spelling (Top) |
| Spellwell

Each book is consistently organized
to include grade-appropriate words that follow a
particular spelling rule or pattern. Sight words
frequently used in writing are also included. In
addition, each lesson allows space for words from
students’ classroom reading or writing. F Spellwell’s
organization also includes finding rhyming words,
sorting words, adding affixes, and writing words in
puzzles, stories, and bingo games. Some lessons ask
students to identify words with similar spelling
patterns in their reading books or textbooks and
write those words in their word lists. In addition,
several lessons conclude with writing exercises that
ask students to write a paragraph that incorporates
the new spelling words they have learned. |

Writing (Top) |
| Just Write

Students are
first encouraged to “Just Write” without worrying
about spelling and punctuation. Later chapters
discuss capital letters, basic punctuation,
spelling, indenting, and constructing paragraphs.
Other chapters encourage the use of colorful
descriptions, creative word choices, and
comparisons. In the last chapter, students revise
and edit their work in preparation for publishing a
final draft. Tips for making stories into books are
also provided. A wide variety of exercises and
engaging illustrations keep students focused and
interested.

Write

| These personal dictionaries
provide useful words for spelling
and writing. Building on an initial
high-frequency word list, students
can add new words they’ve chosen
themselves, as well as those
suggested by the teacher. These
books are perfect for a writer’s
workshop model or for independent
practice. Their format facilitates
differentiated instruction by
enabling students at different
levels to compile meaningful and
appropriate words using the same
books. |

Each
arithmetic operation is
covered in three books, with
Book 1 teaching basic facts
and Books 2 and 3 teaching
multi-digit computation with
whole numbers. In addition
to teaching basic facts, all
4 first books ask students
to draw pictures to find
answers and to solve
application-story problems.
Each Book 1 contains
Checkpoints and a Testpoint
to evaluate progress. In
Books 2 and 3 for each
operation a flagpole
features the sequence of
steps to be followed for
each new procedure. Books
also contain practice pages,
many of which are
self-checking, and
application-story problems.
A Checkpoint and Testpoint
monitor progress at the
middle and end of each book.

Students
interact with numbers on paper by seeing,
saying, hearing and touching numbers as they
arrive at the right answers without
guessing. They learn math facts by using
auditory reinforcement, flashcards and timed
tests. TouchMath follows sequential learning
strategies advocated by eminent learning
theorists such as Jean Piaget and Jerome
Bruner.
