Page Description

There are differences in the Phonics series. For example, the Key Words step includes a phonics lesson, and the student practices and passes a word list instead of retelling the story.

Students working in the Phonics series follow most of the same steps as students working in the Sequenced series. However, there are some differences:

  • Key Words Step: When the student clicks on a key word, the audio gives a short lesson on the featured phonics element in that word rather than the definition of the word.

  • Quiz Step: The questions do not adhere to the same pattern as the Sequenced series. The Phonics questions and answers incorporate the featured phonics pattern(s).

  • Word List/Retell Step: Students do not complete the Retell step during a Phonics story. Instead, after the Quiz step, students complete the Practice Word List step.

  • Spelling Step: Students spell three words related to the text of the Phonics story they are reading. 

  • Pass Step: Students must complete a word-list pass timing during the Pass step.
