Features of Explode the Code Series
- If you aren’t sure where to place your student, there is a Placement Test.
- Or if you know which sounds the student needs to learn, then you can look at the list of sounds covered in each book to choose the best level.
- Choose the easier level if the results are close. Success breeds success. When a student is struggling with a subject, there is nothing like doing it successfully. Doing an easier level at first is a good way to get used to the formatting of the workbooks.
- There’s a reason the pictures are goofy and look as if a child drew them.
- No guessing what the picture is about!
- Your student has to read to answer correctly.
- As you work one-on-one with your child on each page, you can teach, reinforce, and praise your child’s handwriting, spelling, and reading skills.
- For the child who likes to learn with flashcards, Code Cards are available.
- According to the publisher’s website, Explode the Code Phonics Workbooks aligns to the Common Core State Standards.
- Note: if you are opposed to the CCS, please take our word that the workbooks themselves haven’t changed enough to reject them because they meet those standards. Changes in the workbooks have improved them. (like half-dot lines added for answers in Book 1, for example.)
- Before your student starts in Explode the Code Books 1 to 8, he should know the consonants and their sounds.
