Book B, Get Set for The Code, teaches consonants p, s, n, j, h, and d. Get Ready for The Code, Get Set for The Code, and Go for The Code, which all introduce the consonant letters, comprise a three-book series of primers for the Explode The Code series. The exercises are designed to develop visual, auditory, and kinesthetic perception of the letters.
Activities include tasks such as visual tracking, matching, tracing, copying, and identifying the letters and their sounds. Special emphasis is given to discriminating between similar objects and letters, to developing the motor control necessary to write legibly, and to developing the listening skills children need to follow directions carefully. By the time children finish the series they will have learned all of the lowercase consonant letters as well as their sounds and written forms, and will be ready for Book 1 of the Explode The Code series. Softcover, 78 pages. For teachers guide to the listening exercises see stock # 379852.

My son absolutely loves this. He finished the first book quickly and when we sit down for school he always grabs this book first. I am getting a set to start my 4yo daughter on them now because she is so interested in what he is doing. I have the teacher's guide but I don't use it often at all.

My 4 y/o loves the books. This is her second in the series and I have to make her stop each day or she would complete the entire thing. The instructions are simple and easy for children to complete. We look forward to Book C and entering Explode series.

Seems like a good program. I like how it incorporates many types of activities for each letter. I would recommend the teachers guide for additional activities.

A great, "parent/teacher-friendly", thorough workbook that gets the job done! If your child is ready to learn to read, the workbooks in this set are the simplest and best of the many choices available for beginning reading instruction.
