Get Set for THE CODE, Book B Nancy M.

Hall
Recommended for Grades K-1
Get Set for The Code Book B is the second in a set of three primers to
the popular Explode The Code series. This series introduces beginning
readers to consonant sounds and letter formation in preparation for
more complex sound-symbol relationships introduced in the Explode
The Code series. Get Ready for The Code, Get Set for The Code, and
Go for The Code integrate auditory, visual, and kinesthetic exercises
and activities to develop both phonemic and phonological awareness.
The following sample lesson introduces the consonant p and is
designed to promote letter recognition and formation, phonemic
awareness, and sound-symbol relationships. Try this lesson today with
an individual student, a small group, or the entire class. Get Set for
The Code can be incorporated into almost any early reading program.
