A Hen in a Fox's Den (Level B Workbook), Basic Reading Series: Classic Phonics Program for Beginning Readers, ages 5-8, illus., 96 pages

by Lynn Goldberg and Dr. Donald Rasmussen

The BASIC READING SERIES (BRS) is a successful and proven phonics program for beginners. It has a dedicated and faithful following among teachers and parents who want an alternative to discredited teaching methods. The BASIC READING SERIES is now available in a low-cost, paperback edition for homeschool and classroom learning.

The workbooks for the BASIC READING SERIES contain material with which children can practice their decoding skills independently of teacher direction. The decoding experiences thus provided increase the children's opportunities to discover sound-spelling relationships and to develop automatic word recognition. The workbooks also can be an aid to vocabulary, word-meaning, and concept development, as they lead children to associate words with appropriate visual images and challenge children to deal with the meanings of words, phrases, and sentences. Finally, the workbooks are a useful tool with which to evaluate the children's decoding progress.

The workbook for Level B has six sections of exercises, which correspond (in their sound-spelling patterns only) to the six sections of the Level B reader, A Hen in a Fox's Den. The exercises are not tied to the story content of the reader, however. Each section is identified by numbered tabs in the margins of its pages. Each section begins with a word chart that reviews familiar words from Level A and presents new words for that section of Level B. Each section progresses from simple exercises based on single words and phrases to more complex exercises involving phrases and sentences.
