This book practices the student in three letter words containing the short vowel sound of the letter "a" followed by the letter "d." Once again, the first page lists all of the words used in this book and the student should practice reading each of these words before beginning to read the book. As the student is now on his second book of short "a" sounds, this book also contains one four letter word which the student should have no trouble sounding out if he has learned well the sounds of the consonants (which he should have learned prior to beginning reading).
The best sequence for teaching reading is:

1. teach the student to say the letter of the alphabet
2. teach the student to recognize each letter of the alphabet by name
3. Teach the student the sound of each letter of the alphabet.
It will be found that most students have no difficulty, once they can name each letter, in learning the sound the consonants make, as they all sound very much like their own name. It is the vowels which tend to give the student trouble and it is for that reason that our phonics readers concentrate on practicing the student in the vowel sounds in these early books.

  • I purchased this book for my kindle to read along with the kids I work with. The book is simple, with one picture per page and a few words accompanying it. This is great for helping the kids to focus, especially when they are first learning to sound out the words. There are a few simple storylines that follow the same theme (an animal misbehaving) that are funny and easy to follow, with cute illustrations. I\'ve viewed the book both on my laptop and on my physical Kindle, and it\'s worked great both times, resizing as needed. This line of books is great for kids first learning to read, and I think the Single Sound System is a very useful method.
