Explode the Code is a researched-based, multisensory, Orton-Gillingham based program that builds essential literacy skills through direct, systematic, phonics instruction. Providing a comprehensive overview of phonological awareness, decoding, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and spelling, students will gain the skills they need to read words, phrases, sentences, and stories on their own.
Explode the Code Book 4 introduces students to compound words, common word endings, and syllabication and is ideal for students in grades 1-3. Skills addressed through a variety of encoding, decoding, and writing exercises include compound words, common word endings (-ful, -ing, -est, -ed, -ness), syllable types (open, closed, Cle, silent-e, digraph), and syllabication with 2- and 3-syllable words. Students will also practice blending sounds to read and write multisyllabic words. One review lesson is included along with a posttest.
