Using the Foundations Teacher's Manuals
Engaging and Thoughtfully Created Lessons
Each lesson clearly states what the teacher's role is, what is expected from the student and the progress students are expected to make. Lessons grow in complexity as students progress from Level A through Level D.
Assessments
After every fifth lesson, there is an assessment that can help you determine the skills students have mastered and which skills will need reteaching or further practice. Review ideas are conveniently provided for the different skills being measured.
Teacher's Tips
You will find a wealth of tips that will answer your questions, provide creative ideas to extend instruction and support advanced and struggling students. Speech tips, ideas for multimodal learning, challenge activities, additional book ideas and more!
