Explode the Code, Book 6

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 6 focuses on vowel plus r words: ar, or, er, ir, ur, wor, war; dipthongs oo, ea, ie, oi-oy, ou-ow, au-aw, and we-ui-ue-ou; igh. Grade 3

We have loved all the Explode the Code books. We started with book 3 and my son is working on book 3 1/2 but my daughter is almost finished with book 6. I wish it went higher than book 8 - now we have to find something that works this well. We struggled in the beginning of homeschooling because most of the material is boring, complicated, to repetitive, or to fast. Explode the Code balances all of this really well. My kids have learned so much - reading is better, spelling is much better, and school work is exciting (they will actually laugh sometimes while working with these books - what a joy). I wish we could have found them sooner.

All the Beyond The Code and Explode The Code are user friendly and kid friendly. My child loves them and they have helped her and my other children as well. Used them for several years now.

One of the best workbooks out there for reinforcing reading and spelling! My only complaint is that the pages where words have to be written do not allow much space for beginning (big) writers.

Explode the code is really working for us. This is great for my daughter who struggles with reading.
