Setting the Foundations
Learning to build English in the same way a carpenter learns to build a house, the Apprentice begins by learning the tools of his trade – single vowels and consonants, vowel teams and consonant teams. The Master Contractor, Barbara, with help from the Foreman, guides him through Blueprints (spelling list) as he learns to Hear-Say-Write-Read® over 500 words according to Building Codes®, singing our rules with Rule Tunes®.

Writing begins with learning the simple figures needed to form letters. He progresses from building words to writing sentences, then simple paragraphs. Spelling from writing is followed by reading complete sentences with fluency and understanding. 20 First Readers® are provided for your student to read aloud and illustrate himself – a great way to track reading comprehension in a young student.
