I have finished 100 easy lessons with my daughter and am wondering what to do next. I currently have her reading daily from the pathway readers. With my son I used delightful reading but my daughter preferred 100 easy lessons. Would you add any word building to the pathway readers or is it ok to just keep having her read from those and other early readers without direct instruction?
The Pathway Readers orother readers are fine to use without word-building as long as your daughter is not having any trouble reading the words. If there are any words she has difficulty with, then you might do some word-building exercises, similar to Delightful Reading. It all depends on her ability. Some children need more word-building, some are just fine with a little verbal help in pronunciating some unfamiliar words.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>There was another conversation on here about what readers go well with Alphaphonics (which I am currently going through with my daughter–nearing lesson 100). The Biscuit series (about a puppy) was mentioned along with others and I was pleased to find many nice readers at the library. I also purchased the hardcover readers from SCM but haven’t yet looked at them.</p>
