This textbook is the fifth of six textbooks in a sequential reading series that makes use of the principles of modeling and assisted reading. The series can be used with small groups of three to five learners, with individual learners, or in a peer situation. The approach is that of modified language experience using sight words and context clues and incorporating the decoding skills of phonics and word patterns. General directions for the instructor appear first. Specific directions for the instructor appear throughout the textbook opposite the learners' pages. One story that includes 6 folktales is divided into 9 units. Attachments include a list of suggested activities, the text's scope and sequence, and word lists. The companion workbook contains exercises that are integrated with the textbook. Workbook activities correspond with each of the 10 textbook units and may be given for independent work or home practice. Types of workbook activities include multiple choice, matching, short answer, word formation, and composition (writing). (YLB)
