Each of the seven worksheets in Student Workbook 2 contains 16 different exercises. Students will have the opportunity to practice their reading and comprehension skills by drawing pictures, matching sounds, writing creative sentences, and discussing pages from their Book of Stories. Student Workbook 2 takes students all the way through Reading Primer R3 and all 59 sounds and 400+ spellings in the English language.

For use with the Words in Color teaching approach, R0 gives your learner practice with the five basic vowel sounds and spellings found on Chart 0 of the wall-sized or desktop charts. Once these sounds and signs are mastered, R1 provides practice for nine new sounds with 20 new spellings. Learners also begin to read simple sentences, and are well prepared to begin decoding the 59 sounds and 400+ spellings in the English langauge.

A hybrid between storybook and textbook, Book of Stories is for use with the Words in Color family of literacy materials. Learners begin by decoding simple sentences involving few combinations of sounds and spellings. The book progresses to include full paragraphs with punctuation, capital letters, and the most common of the 400+ sound-spellings in American English. Even the trickiest words are made meaningful through the down-to-Earth stories of family life.

Building on the work accomplished in Reading Primers R0 & R1, Reading Primer R2 gets your learner in prime shape for reading the most common spellings in English. Besides the dozens of new sounds and spellings, students will also get a chance to read paragraphs and short stories for the first time.

In this final primer book, your learner will practice all 59 sounds and 400+ spellings in the English language. Even the most rare and peculiar spellings are explored here, giving students all the tools they need to become master readers and spellers. Students will also learn about proper capitalization and punctuation on their way to becoming excellent writers.

Each of the seven worksheets consists of eight types of challenges that will have students drawing, transforming words, and writing creative sentences. Student Workbook 1 starts at the beginning of Reading Primer R1 and finishes at the end of Reading Primer R2. Your learner will hop from beginning to read, to learning the basics of grammar, to expressing themself through writing.

This is the question Caleb Gattegno poses in his age-specific trilogy The Universe of Babies, Of Boys and Girls, and The Adolescent and His Will. This original monograph provides an entirely new set of tools for the study of early childhood, and offers powerful insights into the relationship of man to himself. The constant use of consciousness as an instrument of study sheds light on how children learn what they must learn and...

It is futile to reduce all mental life to functionings of the brain. This observation does not make the brain any the less mysterious, challenging, or important in our lives. It suggests only that we may find more about the brain by knowing more about how the mind penetrates it, makes the brain do what it wants, and uses it as its instrument. The brain does not know pain while all other parts of the soma do. Doesn't this alone say that the brain is only a relay to the knowing self-which then experiences pain? In this book, Gattegno examines the role of the brain, the mind, and the self in...

As Dr. Gattegno wrote The Science of Education treatise, he delved deep into the root of learning. This journey took him into the brain, through the ages, and caused him to greatly consider evolution and human potential. He put some of his findings aside for use in this book. Scientists of education may find this slim volume indispensable for their study of memory and its place in our ways of educating the young. "Looking at all the references made to evolution in my writings on education over 30 years, I now find here and there a link of what is cardinal in this book: that individuality is...
