Introducing the cumulation of the Pecci Reading series Pre-primers: Pre-Primer I, Pre-Primer II, and Pre-Primer III all in one place! The intriguing reader begins their journey with funny, heart-warming stories while getting a strong foundation to the English language.
In this delightful book the reader advances through all 3 Pre-Primer books learning 1240 words of running text. The student will acquire independent decoding skills as they progress through this reader which serves only as a springboard, from which students will be able to read any material on (and in most cases above) their academic level.
After 35 years of teaching reading-challenged children, Mary Pecci discovered her students fell into the same three reading TRAPS:
- Difficulty making the transition from "decodable" text to "real English" text.
- Difficulty handling the numerous sounds for many letters and letter combinations.
- Difficulty handling the constant influx of "sight" words.
Mary designed Pre-Primers I, II, and III in the Pecci Reading Series as a companion to the At Last! A Reading Method for EVERY Child! instructional manual. These books are intended to help children AVOID the three traps and to successfully learn to read without a struggle. The series goes on to expand on this solid basic reading vocabulary foundation while maintaining unique success factors detailed in the Pre-Primers.
