OpenBook's emergent literacy program begins with a robust lesson design starting with instruction of the 52 English phonemes in the context of 41 high frequency words.
From a selection of 4,236 pages, through content in literature, poetry, science, geography, citzenship, and history, students achieve college-entrance-level vocabulary, comprehension, diction, and usage instruction useful for SAT prep, college and work success.
Introductory-level lessons introduce the phonemes and offer audio and video phonemic instruction.
Then students see phonemes mapped to graphemes in a rich-media, audio-visual enviroment.
Students get robust guided practice, hear stories with the target sounds and associated vocabulary read aloud, practice writing with a word processor that says each word as it's typed, and experience other lessons designed to build comprehension.
