Secret codes curriculum for young children

Pittsburg, KS: Depco LLC, ©2009

ISBN: pending [find in a library]

The Secret Codes Reading Curriculum for Young Children is an innovative, exciting approach to teaching reading. Based on research, the curriculum teaches children how to read by emphasizing the relationship between letters and their sounds. This helps build their phonological processing skills and prevent reading difficulties.  Children learn how to decode words into sounds and how to blend sounds into words. They learn to read words, sentences, and even paragraphs. They also learn spelling from early on in the curriculum. Secret Codes incorporates Response to Intervention principles through whole classroom and small group activities. Secret Codes represents the way children will be taught to read in the future!
