This first volume of 18 vocabulary controlled book selections by Frances Bloom and Mary Geiger enables students to apply their phonics skills in context. Each book helps emergent and struggling readers to practice key phonics skills while also simultaneously reading motivating, engaging stories. The stories (labeled 1 to 18) also increase in difficulty as the lessons progress, helping students practice target words and review sounds and sight words. These Volume 1 storybooks correspond to the first third of the lessons in the Recipe For Reading teacher manual. This set reviews: consonant sounds, consonant-vowel-consonant words (short vowels), consonant digraphs, two-syllable compound words, doubling rule for ff-ll-ss-zz, plural words, sight word recognition, automaticity/fluency, and beginning comprehension.
