Sorry Anne... By Debbie

What I meant was that the books that I 'peeked' at looked like the words were controlled by phonemic elements...so a short vowel Aa reader might have a title 'Max the Cat'. Some theorists believe that if you control the| phonemic elements (sounds)-the child will be a 'reader'. The old Dick and Jane series was a 'whole word' approach- teach the key sight words and the child would be a 'reader'. And again, I really didn't get to take an indepth look at any of the books. So I couldn't say for certain what approach they were taking. I just know that you really wanted to level your books carefully for your | | children and wanted to mention that point as well. If you still have wonders, just ask...It's wonderful that you're questioning! Keeps us growing!!! ;-D
