Reading Complete: Level D Overview


This self-paced reading program is designed to help beginning readers develop confidence in reading with comprehension. It combines phonics and sight word recognition skills to teach a child how to read fluently and expressively. Language arts skills of spelling, punctuation, grammar, handwriting, and reading comprehension are included. The daily lessons incorporate the use of flashcards, games, activities, and independent written practice.

The child will continue to learn to read long vowel words, words with consonant blends, words with double vowels, words with prefixes and suffixes, contractions, compounds, and sight words within context. He will continue to alphabetize words, identify homophones, divide words into syllables, make singular words plural, and identify synonyms and antonyms. He will also learn that abbreviations are shortened forms of words, demonstrate knowledge of story sequence, properly use positional words, and recognize personification and alliteration in literature.
