Flow Charts
The flow charts below show the books used at each level and the various choices you can make as you work through the program. Click on either of the pages to see an expanded view.
In some cases there are several different books or sets of books at the same level. You can select the books best suited to your students. It is not necessary to use every book at levels three and four.
Level One - Learning The Alphabet - Red sections
Level Two - Exploring Sounds In Words - Purple sections
Level Three - Short Vowels - Blue sections
Level Four - Phonics Patterns - Green sections
Level Five - Advanced Phonics Patterns - Yellow sections

A heading on each chart shows which books are consumable workbooks that the students will write in. At levels one and two the instruction is directly from workbooks. At levels three and four, students study instructional books and then review the materials using workbooks. Level five has an instructional book but no workbook. In addition, at levels three, four, and five, students write new words and sentences daily on lined paper, under the direction of the teacher.
The headings also show which books are printed in black print and which books are printed with color-coded vowels. The vowel colors make the vowels stand out within each word. The specific color designates the sound to pronounce for that vowel or vowel pattern. For example, all vowel patterns that represent the long a sound are printed in a dark red color.
