Community Description
Phonics and Reading
Horizons Phonics is a phonetically based word-recognition and early reading program. Strong emphasis is placed on comprehension and language arts skills. In this course, students learn to identify the name and sounds of each letter through picture association from the sequential alphabet story.
The use of each individual letter sound blended into words is further reinforced by pictures and printing letter names. Sentences and stories are introduced immediately. Dolch sight words are incorporated to enhance comprehension. In addition to the reading section, much emphasis is placed on the following: spelling, alphabetizing, rhyming, vocabulary development, sentence structure including statement, question, and exclamation sentences, puzzle and make-up words, phrases and sentences for accurate decoding, auditory skills in recognizing a spoken word, sequence, diacritical markings, complete sentence identification, nouns verbs, pronouns, apostrophe for possession, and contractions realistic choices.
There are several activities associated with each skill. The teacher can choose to expand on a certain skill by utilizing the accumulation of words for each segment. Using the puzzle approach on the white board with easy-erase markers allows the teacher the freedom to review and expand the material within the lesson. Underneath each skill name in the Scope and Sequence is the list of activities that are included with that skill.
