Extension Kit

The Connect to Comprehension Extension Kit focuses on decoding multisyllabic words using a systematic approach (syllable types and division rules) and understanding more advanced Tier 2 vocabulary, word building with prefixes and suffixes, and advanced comprehension skills such as identifying theme and points of view. The engaging decodable text includes the most common Greek myths, such as Theseus and the Minotaur, Perseus and Medusa, and The Trojan Horse.

 

Assessments are provided for pretesting and posttesting in multi-syllabic word reading and vocabulary knowledge. A Student Booklet is included to allow students to record their responses to written questions and complete graphic organizers that aid in comprehension.

​

Vocabulary cards and fluency/sequencing strips are included in the kit.  Also included is a syllabication types and rules anchor chart to give students a handy reference as they are decoding longer words.

 

The lessons are scripted, explicit, and easy to follow;  and a writing prompt is included with each myth to help students expand their abilities in written expression.
