Understanding
M3's Reading Program, Cont...
Students work through four steps within each level:
1. Students attempt to spell the words displayed in the picture cards,
2. Students match the word cards to the picture cards,
3. Students use the word cards as flashcards to read the words aloud &
4. Students read the sentence cards.
The cards use beautiful images to illustrate each word, as well as large print that
highlights the phonetic element used in the word. All of the cards are color-coded to
match up with each of the 7 rainbow colored levels. Please note: If you choose to
use the writing supplement along with the reading program, please include them as
a step in between steps 3 and 4 (for a total of 5 steps per level).
