about reading - you can do it too!

Reading You Can Do It Too! will give learners the tools they need to master the first four components of reading:

  • Phonemic awareness: recognizing the sounds in spoken words

  • Alphabetic awareness: recognizing the letters and the sounds they represent

  • Blending: smoothly joining the sounds together

  • Syntactic awareness: knowledge of word order

Plus an introduction to the other components of reading: fluency, vocabulary, background knowledge and comprehension

Reading You Can Do It Too! ​

  • Contains a script and detailed instructions tutors can use to conduct the lessons

  • Uses visuals and examples appropriate for emergent learners

  • Is appropriate for learners with reading skills below 3.9 grade equivalency level

  • Is appropriate for English language learners
