Teaching phonics with Explode the Code lesson plans helps kids recognize and combine phonetic sounds in order to read words.
This program combines Explode the Code with Beyond the Code. Explode the Code is a popular program which provides beginning readers with experience recognizing and combining phonetic sounds in order to read words, phrases, sentences, and stories.
Beyond the Code is a set of companion books for Explode the Code, designed to build comprehension and reasoning skills. Beyond the Code helps refine reading skills, develop comprehension, reasoning, and critical thinking, and finds parallels with individual experience. Beyond the Code features longer stories with exercises that follow the same phonetic pattern as the material in Explode the Code. Beyond the Code can be used independently or as part of the Explode the Code program.
