• give explicit instruction in reading and spelling
• teach comprehension and vocabulary extension
• use a systematic logical approach to teaching reading and spelling
• set and achieve measurable spelling and reading goals for all students
• create an environment that fosters reading and spelling for all students
• make the most of parent help and Teacher Aides
• spend less time preparing and more time teaching literacy

1x About Words Assessment pad
1x Set of Practical Phonics Workbooks (6 books)
