Module 3 Step 2 focuses on adding consonants to words containing long vowel sounds - in particular the 'silent e' syllable and open syllables and 2-syllable words. Through a series of fun, multi-sensory games and activities children will learn to hear individual sounds, blend consonants, read words, spell words, and write sentences. Finally, they will build fluency using the decodable 60 Word Stories designed specifically to match this step of the program. 

Step 2 for Professionals includes a single-user licence, authorising use of Read3 program content with an unlimited number of clients. Single step purchasing offers additional flexibility for professionals operating independently in learning support, speech pathology, or tutoring. Simply purchase each step as clients are ready to move on. 

The pace of learning is different for each child, but it is anticipated Step 2 will take at least 5 weeks to master.  For reading outcomes, a minimum of 5 sessions per week (20 minutes per session) is recommended. Children should then apply this learning for an additional 10 minutes a day, and a curated list of decodable readers and computer games is provided.

What is covered in Step 2

Through our 3-step daily routine of HEAR + SEE + AUTO, children will:

• fine-tune listening skills by identifying, deleting and exchanging individual sounds in words containing consonant blends 
  
• start reading and spelling words that start with 2-3 consonant blends and feature 'silent' e (plane, crime, stroke) and open syllables (fry, cry, spree, tree)
  
• learn to read and spell 'dge' words (judge, pledge, fridge), 'nge' words (strange, hinge) and 'nce' words (prince, dance, fence) 
• start reading and spelling 2-syllable words featuring consonant blends (plastic, disgrace, program) 
• start writing short sentences featuring words containing consonant blends
  
• start to build automaticity by reading sentences and text featuring consonant blends and short and long vowel sounds
  
• continue to review spelling patterns learned previously
  
• continue to review word endings s/es, ed, ing, er learned previously
• continue to build a bank of high-frequency words 

The Read3 Program works to strengthen the three foundational skills needed for reading and writing. Developed by experienced Speech Pathologist Robyn Monaghan, the strategies have proven effective when teaching children with multiple processing difficulties including: poor phonological awareness, poor working memory, poor letter-sound knowledge and poor rapid automatic naming. Learn more about Read3
