Pre-Primer III

Pre-Primer III continues to deliver the third adventure into reading with funny, heart-warming stories that everyone will love! After 35 years of teaching reading-challenged children, Mary Pecci discovered her students fell into the same three reading TRAPS:

Difficulty making the transition from decodable text to real English text. Difficulty handling the numerous sounds for many letters and letter combinations. Difficulty handling the constant influx of sight words.

Mary designed Pre-Primers I, II, and III in the Pecci Reading Series to help children AVOID these three traps and to successfully learn to read without a struggle. The series goes on to expand on this solid basic reading vocabulary foundation while maintaining 7 unique success factors detailed in the Pre-Primers. The Primer increases independent decoding skills by introducing the short and long vowel families with e on the end. The Reader completes the phonics code by introducing two vowels together and a COMPASS for independent reading.
