The Alphabet Series Readers provide reading practice geared to the phonogram presentation as well as questions designed to cover vocabulary, inferential comprehension, and personal response. Series 2 (books 19-36) is used with the second third of lessons in the manual -- #34 - #78 (Workbooks 3-7) -- and covers syllabication, consonant blends, ng/nk endings, syllable division, and magic E. This second volume of 18 vocabulary controlled selections by Frances Bloom, Mary Geiger, and others enables students to apply their phonics skills in context. The stories, which increase in difficulty as the lessons progress, help students practice target words and review sounds and sight words. The stories enable emergent and struggling reader to practice skills while they read motivating, engaging stories.
