4.0 out of 5 stars A great learning tool for phonics programs!, August 2, 2000

This review is from: Explode the Code Book 2 (Paperback)

My six year old is almost finished with Explode the Code 2; her decoding skills have increased 100% since starting this program. She loves the simple illustrations and the easy to follow instructions, and I love the pace she is learning at-not too fast, not too slow. She actually loves doing her lesson each day, since the worksheets have a predictable format but aren't boring. The lessons are also short, which helps to keep her attention. Overall this is a wonderful foundation phonics program for beginning readers as well as for those readers learning the more complicated rules of grammar.

This review is from: Explode the Code Book 2 (Paperback)

My six year old daughter was starting 2nd grade and was struggling with reading. I felt like she missed something in phonics in 1st grade. I bought this book and had her do 1 or 2 pages each day. They were fairly easy for her but it really helped build her confidence and she was able to pick up what she missed.
It covers only SHORT vowel sounds.
It also covers clusters at the beginning and end, for example clam, block, wind
Some of the words covered are:
glass
flag
skunk
crack
spell
sniff
swim
twin
drip
desk
lamp
gift
sink
crust
plant
There are many more words but just to give you an idea of what types of words are on the worksheets.

5.0 out of 5 stars from a first grade teacher, December 18, 2004

This review is from: Explode the Code Book 2 (Paperback)

I have taught with the Explode the Code series for years in private schools, especially in first and second grade. The lessons are very easy to follow - each 8 page sequence introduces a new phonics pattern; the exercises get more challenging as the child moves through the lesson. The directions are very simple and the format is consistent throughout the series. The "1/2" books provide more practice with the previous book's lessons before your child moves on to the concepts in the next book.
