mjpeter Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Has anybody used these books? My first grader is doing ETC 2 and 2.5 right now, and will soon move to 3. Are these book just reading comprehension? When did you start? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHASRADA Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 They are primarily reading comprehension, but they are correlated to the Explode the Code books. So, the stories follow the phonics patterns taught in the corresponding book in the Explode the Code series. There are a few pages of exercises using some of the main words in the upcoming story, then the story, and a post-reading activity. If you are using ETC for reading as well as spelling, BTC are very useful reinforcements, and just as inexpensive as ETC. Go ahead, give 'em a try!

twogirlsmommy Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 My DD LOVED these books! I think I started about ETC book 3 with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'd start around ETC 2-3 preferably. We didn't start until after ETC 4, and they're painfully easy for my daughter already. But she still loves them! We skip the sections where we learn the words (which she learned already), and read the stories and do the fun exercises and coloring stuff.
