  consolidate what students have learned about
  reading words. The purpose for these activities
  is to teach students that have strategies for
  figuring out any unfamiliar words they encounter.

  maintenance for students using the program across
  grade levels.

DICTATION AND SPELLING

  the students to spell words based on sounds and
  spellings. Learning dictation gives students a
  new strategy for reflecting on the sounds they
  hear in words to help them with their own writing.

DECODABLE BOOKS

• These books are designed to help students apply,
  review, and reinforce their expanding knowledge
  of sound/spelling correspondences. Each story
  supports instruction in phonic elements and
  incorporates elements and words that have been
  learned earlier.

FLUENCY

• Fluency is the effortless ability to read or
  access words with seemingly little attention to
  decoding. To become proficient readers who fully
  understand what they read, the whole process of
  decoding must be automatic as possible. Reading
  and practicing decodable books helps build fluent
  readers.

READING AND RESPONDING

• Vocabulary- Strong vocabulary skills are
  correlated to achievement throughout school. The
  purpose of vocabulary instruction is to teach
  students a range of strategies for learning,
  remembering, and incorporating unknown vocabulary
  words into their existing reading, writing,
  speaking, and listening vocabularies.
