The Learn to Read System Library
The Tag Learn to Ready System is designed to guide children through their learn-to-read journey. Beginning
with the Get Ready to Read series and the Tag Junior book pal, children are introduced to reading basics and
essential preschool skills. Moving on to the Tag Reader, the Early Reading series expands upon these skills with
core phonics practice and exposure to basic sentence structure. As children build confidence they can develop
their reading comprehension and vocabulary skills with the longer text and more complex sentences of the
Read on Your Own series. And their growing reading skills lead to even more fun with the Learn through
Reading series, which features maps, puzzles, flash cards and sets that expand the learning to geography,
writing, science and more.
Book and Print Basics
A child's early experiences with books greatly influence his ability to learn to read. Reading together helps a
child learn how to turn pages one at a time and that text moves from left to right. Advanced readers learn how
to use books for research.
Consonants
There are more consonants sounds than there are consonants in the alphabet. A consonant digraph is a pair of
consonants that stand for a single sound (ch, sh, th, wh).
Vowels
Spelling begins with regular short vowel sounds (cap) and long vowel sounds (with silent e, cap becomes cape).
Finally, children learn the rules and patterns of vowel pairs (ee), digraphs (ai in train), dipthongs (oi in boil) and
r-controlled vowels (farm, bird).
4. Phonological Awareness
Along with learning language and letters, phonological awareness-the ability to pick out and play with sounds in
words (such as syllables and rhymes)-is essential for learning to read.
Word recognition
With repeated exposure to commonly used words, word recognition grows and becomes more automatic.
Phonics skills
To read independently, children must understand the relationship between the sounds in spoken words and the
letters that represent those sounds.
Vocabulary
The larger their vocabulary, the easier it is for children to comprehend what they read and hear and
communicate with others.
Listening and Reading Comprehension
As children develop comprehension of books read aloud or independently, they explore the uses and functions
of written language. They begin to construct meaning, eventually applying critical skills to make inferences and
draw conclusions.
Learn Through Reading
In addition to creating a strong foundation through language and literacy learning, there are skill sets that
children need exposure to and knowledge of for further development and achievement in school. Topics like
science, social studies, mathematics and overall life skills are essential experiences to ensure further
development and achievement in school.
