About This Product
This Reading Intervention for Struggling Readers: CK Words Book 4 is the fourth in a series of books written to provide intervention for struggling readers by means of decodable reading books, written to build confidence and help the child attain fluency.
This book is useful for reading intervention for older pupils, maybe even of 11+ who are struggling to read fluently, but who have a smattering of phonic knowledge but with gaps.
This book provides longer passages of text, with plenty of practice reading /ck/ words. The pupil should be taught to read words such as jacket/pocket/ticket etc.. as well as basic /c/ words. The book gives practice in differentiating between confusion words such as back and black.
It follows:
Book 3 More Consonant Blends Words
Who is this book for?
Older pupils who can read, but who have a reading age well below their chronological age. Such children may struggle to read simple text with accuracy/fluency and thereby lack comprehension.
It is not for pupils who are just beginning to read with phonics. Please see my Graded reading books for such pupils.
It is convenient enough for parents to use with their children, as well as for use by teachers and private tutors.
Outline and steps
Having secured a child's blending skills with three and four sounds in books 1 to 3, we now start to strengthen the child's use of common digraphs, starting in this book with ck.
As these children are not beginners, we now add words ending in /et/ (e.g. packet) as well as past tense words: rock - rocked. these should be studied before reading this book.
I find that often these children need help to distinguish between similar words, such as back and black, and by retraining the child to read accurately using these simple texts - that do not look babyish - and then rebuilding from the bottom up, much progress can be made.
I thought that my pupils would look with disdain at these books. I found the opposite; they were so relieved that at last somebody had actually given them a book they could read!
Simply print on A4 paper, two on a page. Cut into individual A5 pages, and staple or bind them together to make a book.
Purpose
These books have been written and tried and tested on some of my older pupils (mainly boys I admit), and they have proved very helpful. Most of my pupils have a dyslexic type problem, involving poor processing skills. It is crucial that they build a secure foundation for reading ability to build upon. These books, used as described, will help to build that foundation.
I am finding more and more such pupils desperate for help. You can help too! It is not hard but just needs a little understanding of the problem.
