The Christ-Centered Phonics Drill Reader (Part 340) is recommended for age 6 and above to dramatically increase reading speed. It is also a good resource to help struggling readers of any age, and as a tool to teach English as a second language (TESL). "How to" instructions are provided at the beginning of the book.

Word lists (100 per page), phrases, sentences, and paragraphs cover: initial consonant blends, short/long vowel words, consonant digraphs, adding suffix -s, giant blends, adding suffixes (-es, -ed, -ing), vowel digraphs, modified vowels, diphthongs, consonant and vowel variants (rule breakers in English), silent letters, and words with prefixes/suffixes. This book includes the 1,000 words used in 90% of all reading materials. These spiritual themes are covered in its five sections: the scriptural account of Creation, the Fall, the Flood, the Law, and Grace (KJV).

Note: Around the time your child begins the Meeting New Friends reader (Part 362), we recommend starting daily drill practices (10-15 minutes) in the Phonics Drill Reader in addition to daily oral reading assignments in supplemental readers. The PDR is also a good spelling resource; for spelling tips, see the "Spelling Rules" section in the Phonics Charts & Visual Aids 3-ring binder (Part 328PC). The next recommended book in the Early Readers sequence is Beautiful Stories for Children (Part 364). Click here for BSC.
