The
Animated-Literacy™
The Draw To Read And Write Book
(280
pages)
Description
The drawing component of Animated-Literacy™ provides systematic phonics
instruction and decodable words through a sequence of 150 guided drawing
and labeling lessons. The lessons begin after only two
Animated-Alphabet™ characters, sounds, and letters have been introduced.
After learning the sounds and gestures for Polly Panda and
Uncle Upton, students draw and label a pup. Segmentation,
letter recognition, decoding, and printing skills are developed as
students listen for the sounds in pup, gesture and say each
sound, and print the word, pup. Students then blend the sounds to
decode and read the words, up and pup. Sequential
instruction continues as short “o” is introduced and the students draw
and label a “pop.” Next, the sound of “m” is introduced and the
students draw and label a mom.
After drawing and labeling each picture, the students’ decoding and word
recognition skills continue to develop as they label the parts of each
drawing and form phrases by adding adjectives and verbs to their labels.
A short sentence for reading and printing practice is provided with each
drawing lesson. The sentences introduce each of the 200 most frequently
written words in English. A short poem or song is also included with
each drawing lesson to provide more context and practice reading the
words that the students are learning to draw and label.
