We use the term "word work" to represent activities that promote effective and efficient word reading, especially those that involve developing proficiency with blending letter sounds and the manipulation of sounds in words. For example, the blending drill provides children with a rapid succession of words (and sometimes non-words) to decode, by changing one sound at a time (e.g., changing him to hip, hip to tip, tip to top, and so on). All of the activities in this section are designed to provide students with practice that will make them stronger word readers. Strong word reading is necessary for strong comprehension.

The BeginningReads program supports teachers, parents, and tutors in bringing children into reading. Before children learn about written language, they have developed a substantial oral language word bank. The goal of BeginningReads is to connect student's oral language knowledge with written language. The texts do this by placing a premium on words that are both highly concrete and phonetically regular-words such dog, cat, pet, and big. Each level has 12 4-page books that share a set of concepts, which allows young readers to see the same words in many different texts. Each book is provided as a double-sided PDF ready for printing.

BeginningReads is also available as iBook on iTunes!

Don't miss out on the additional resources that support BeginningReads:

Toolkit for Tutors, a tutoring guide for BeginningReads texts:

text-only texts of BeginningReads to facilitate close reading and further vocabulary instruction,
