Mastery
Grades: PreK-5
Phonics
mastery is a powerful but fun series based upon proven mastery learning
principles. Designed for young emerging
readers and older readers still struggling to achieve phonemic awareness, this
series ensures mastery of over one hundred phonemes. Mastery is learned through a research driven four-step
approach:
-
Pretests determine which phonemes need instruction.
-
Instruction progresses through sound-to-letter,
sound-to-picture, and sound-to-word steps, while providing students with
developmentally appropriate voice-based instruction on phonemes identified in
the Pretest.
-
Practice/Evaluation carefully moves the student from errorless
practice to increasingly more difficult practice items if mastery is achieved
using the same progression used in the Instruction process.
-
Mastery Games motivate successful readers while reinforcing
mastered phonemes through highly graphic and fun activities.
A universal
management system allows you to track student progress, customize content, and
modify program options based upon the student’s learning needs for all titles
in this series.
