The Startup Reading Introduction to Vowel Teams Workbook, Book 7, is designed as a Language Arts curriculum that provides reading strategies for a solid foundation in literacy. The objective is for students to learn and apply reading, comprehension, and spelling strategies to read higher-level passages.
In particular, this workbook guides students in developing the following key strategies:
1) Vowel Teams – Students will be vowel detectives to find the first vowel in a word, then look to see if that vowel is connected to other letters to make a new unique sound. Identifying a Vowel Team in a word is an essential skill for students to develop their knowledge of irregular vowel patterns and read more complex words.
2) The 4 Essential Syllable Strategies – Students will learn to divide Super Challenge words into syllables. First, they will look for two consonants in the middle of the word. Next, they will identify the vowel sound in each syllable. The ability to divide words into syllables is a foundational skill for students to read higher-level passages with an increased emphasis on fluency, vocabulary acquisition, and comprehension.
This course provides a video lesson for each page in the workbook. As the parent, you may participate with your child or request to schedule an online reading session with a Reading Pal, who will guide your child through the lesson.
