Explode the Code 5

Explode the Code 5

Get your elementary grade readers up to speed on phonics with Explode The Code Books! Based on the Orton-Gillingham approach, this multisensory “code-centric program” provides direct, systematic lessons that teach students how to read/write/speak various words, phrases, sentences, and stories all on their own.

Explode The Code Book 5 introduces students to the word endings -ed and -ey, word families (all-alk, old-olt-oll, ild-ind), the digraph qu, and 3-letter blends (thr, shr, scr, str, spr, spl). Through a variety of pen-to-paper activities, students will get to practice blending sounds to read and write multisyllabic words.

Softcover phonics workbook is recommended for Grades 1 to 4 (with included accommodations for English Language Learners and struggling readers). Enjoy the full Explode The Code Book series as desired (available in Books 1 to 6, each also with a 1/2 number for additional practice, and Books 7 and 8; each sold separately).
