- Rime to Read is a beginning reading program comprised of 20 short books.
- The program is carefully structured to ensure success for the youngest readers as well as students needing remedial work.
- Each of the twenty books, four per short vowel, highlights a specific rime or word family (e.g., bat, cat, rat). Each rime is color-coded throughout the series with a different color.
- The color-coding of each rime encourages students to use visual similarities and differences to decode,a strategy employed by successful readers.
- The color-coding also helps students develop phonological awareness by providing cues for sound discrimination and categorization.
- Thirty-five common sight words are introduced and previewed the first five times they appear. Sight words are distinguished by black type.
- Delightful illustrations are used to enhance the storyline of each book.
