Just Robyn Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 My rising first grader has done SSRW K and 1 and can read fairly well for his grade (think Frog and Toad). I am considering doing more phonics with him in first grade as a review. I'm not completely decided on that; he is doing AAS, so phonics review may be unnecessary, but I'm considering it. Two questions - 1.) If you did this using ETC, which book would you start with? 2.) Is there something else you would recommend using for this?

I started with book 1 since they are basically cheap and I figured that he could whiz right through a couple of them over the summer. We are also doing AAS and I figure between that ETC and all the other reading we do it will work itself out just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin's Song Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) I don't use AAS, but from what I see it will likely fill in the gaps eventually (if there are any). If you want to add ETC, I would go with the books with concepts that AAS won't get to for a while (I'm thinking 3 or 4 to start??). I don't have AAS here (don't use it) or I would compare the S&S for you. ETC 3 covers: 1-syllable words ending in a vowel Silent-e sh/th/wh/ch/tch ng, -ck,ee, ea ai, ay, oa, ow ETC 4 covers: compound words -ful,-ing,-est,-ed,-ness syllable division open/closed syllables more ai, ay, ea, ee, oa, ow Hope that helps!
