Blend Builders Plus Program
Advancing Skills
The Blend Builders Plus Program showcases your child’s growing reading abilities within 7 levels of learning. Using the familiar base of short and long vowels, your child will tackle longer, more complex words and consolidate knowledge from the Foundation and Blend Builders Programs.
This program introduces words with double syllables and emphasises recognising recurring letter sound patterns aided by visual codes. New visual codes are introduced toward the end of the program for the letter y when it makes the long vowel e (as in the word baby) sound and for the suffix tion (as in the word nation).
Our readers transition to chapter book-style readers, with more text on a page and fewer pictures. Both coded and uncoded versions are available in this program.
Program Highlights:
- Video Tutorials: Engaging video tutorials introduce key learning content.
- Parent Guide Videos: Comprehensive videos support parents and guardians through the program, offering valuable tips and strategies.
- Sight Word Challenge: Mastery of sight words is crucial to successful reading. Our program incorporates a Sight Word Challenge to help children master these essential words.
Importance of Parental Support: Guidance from parents or guardians is essential for each child’s success in the Blend Builders Plus Program. By actively participating in their child’s learning journey, parents can provide valuable support, reinforce lessons, and foster a positive learning environment.
Benefits of Parental Guidance:
- Enhanced Learning: Parental involvement reinforces learning and improves retention of new concepts.
- Motivation: Encouragement and support from parents motivate children to stay engaged and committed.
- Improved Progress: With parental guidance, children make steady progress, leading to improved reading skills and confidence.
The Blend Builders Plus Program not only enhances reading abilities but also emphasises the importance of parental support for a successful learning experience.
One Vowel Sound per Lesson
Each lesson focuses on a single vowel sound only. Repetition of a single vowel sound carried throughout a session, helps the student consolidate the learning and reduces the load on the working memory.
Extra Processing Time
Short bursts of repeated sound patterns within a lesson, practised over consecutive days, make it easier for the learner to grasp information, and ultimately, process it to their long-term memory.
New Visual Codes introduced at a gradual pace
The visual code becomes the identifying mark that allows the learner to ‘activate’ the letters with ease and confidence. Transforming the very abstract nature of learning to read into a more trusted and concrete experience for the learner.
Familiar style and layout
Each lesson offers a similar pattern of learning and providing a familiar style and layout.
