Bannatyne Reading Program -- GETTING STARTED -- PLANETS SERIES

This Series repeats the 17 vowel phonemes but uses them in words with more complex or unusual spellings. Of course, numerous additional consonants, digraphs, blends, word-parts, chunks, sentences and stories are also taught. Almost every graphemic spelling in English has been taught by the time students finish the Bannatyne Program. The numerous words presented in the actual Workbooks are used in many diverse activities. Remember that the students provide the color by using color pencils
