Publisher's Synopsis
Introducing the first look into the Pecci Reading series with Pre-primer I in which the reader begins their journey with funny, heart-warming stories.
In this delightful book twenty-five words are formally introduced. However, reading vocabulary will not be limited to these twenty-five words since students will be acquiring independent decoding skills as they progress through this reader which serves only as a springboard, from which students will be able to read any material on (and in most cases above) their academic level. After 35 years of teaching reading-challenged children, Mary Pecci discovered her students fell into the same three reading TRAPS:- Difficulty making the transition from "decodable" text to "real English" text.
- Difficulty handling the numerous sounds for many letters and letter combinations.
- Difficulty handling the constant influx of "sight" words.
Mary designed Pre-Primers I, II, and III in the Pecci Reading Series as a companion to the At Last! A Reading Method for EVERY Child! instructional manual. These books are intended to help children AVOID the three traps and to successfully learn to read without a struggle. The series goes on to expand on this solid basic reading vocabulary foundation while maintaining 7 unique success factors detailed in the Pre-Primers.
