  • Activities reinforce word attack strategies necessary for automatic word recognition. Exercises include one-, two, and multi-syllable words, as well as sentences and paragraphs to provide practice in applying word attack strategies to contextual material.
  • Children more than three years behind in their reading development learnt quickly, rapidly catching up with their peers.
