This lecture provides many examples and practice sentences for auditory recognition.The student also is taught about manuscript hand writing. As a precursor to hand writing, Body Writing is introduced. This is quite helpful for a struggling young student if they are having learning problems with understanding the spatial relationship between letter formation, right and left handedness and directionality of letter formation.Sentence order in story formation is also introduced, emphasizing the fact that event sequence is critical for both fiction and nonfiction story telling.Letter blends are also taught with simple 3-letter words. The student learns that blending the sounds of letters to form words is the basis of word formation that leads to and contributes sentence and paragraph construction.The student is also presented with many examples and practice activities for fiction and nonfiction writing.LISTENING TO THE STORY NARRATED adds greatly to the learning process. It helps the student to learn in three ways:• Listening with the audio narration.• Seeing the words on the computer’s screen.• Seeing the words on the screen and how they are spelled and pronounced by the narrator, all in a real human voice, not a computerized voice common in today’s digital learning world.As with all CompuRead stories, it includes relevant questions with answers to further help the student to fully understand the concepts being taught.THE PHONICS, WRITING AND SPELLING section emphasizes listening.
