Explode the Code, for use in the primary and elementary grades, teaches the basic phonics concepts necessary for beginning through intermediate reading. Each of the 12 illustrated workbooks in the program contains a series of lessons of approximately 8 pages in length. These lesssons follow a consistent format designed to reinforce phonetic paterns in a sequential manner. Within each lesson children have extensive practice in matching, reading, copying, spelling, and writing sounds and words. Amusing illustrations, drawn by children, highlight the lesson exercises. The simple directions and consistent format allow students to progress independently. The workbooks provide teachers and students with an instructive and entertaining program to supplement any reading and spelling program. Book 4 cover compound words: common endings -ful, -ing, -ist, -ed, -ness; rules for syllable division between double and different consonants, with open and closed syllables, with syllables ending in -y and -le, dipthong syllables, and three-syllable words.

Love Explode the Code series...it's a great introduction in the early years and wonderful review as the child progresses. My daughter loves the fun drawings and is very "at home" with Explode the Code!

We have used this product for several years in our homeschooling, and I have found the entire line of Explode the Code to be easy to use and very effective, with just the right amount of challenge at each level. Fun, without being distracting. Teaches each sound clearly and completely, but uses light humor and keeps their attention through each lesson.

This series really was a springboard to my child's reading. The repetition is helpful and there is a sense of accomplishment at each section. It is excellent for independent work.

My six year old son really enjoys these worksheets. The drawings are simple and he really gets a laugh from some of the silly sentences that appear every few pages. He finishes each page fairly quickly, so he also feels a good sense of accomplishment, while he has enjoyed doing the work. I find the books a good supplement to his other cirriculum.
