A Systematic Reading Program

“Sound Bytes is an excellent example of a reading program that is systematic, explicit, and as a result, successful. Students learn in an orderly manner by progressing from phonemic awareness and phonics skill development to decoding words and sentences and reading and understanding stories with ease. Lessons are well-sequenced, follow sound learning principles, and contain vocabulary-controlled stories that students enjoy reading. In addition to the well-designed lessons, the phonetic word lists and supplementary resources within the book serve as excellent resources for teachers as they develop additional practice lessons for their students. This is an excellent teaching tool!”
