Each story in the Awakening Potential For Reading Success Book Series is aligned with a phonics concept or decoding strategy from the Awakening Potential For Reading Success reading program.
The story will contain words which use this concept, allowing the student to practice what they have learned from the corresponding lesson in the reading program.
The books can also be used as stand alone phonics books, or they can be used for reading practice in conjunction with other phonics programs.
I Like Games uses the Cheerful Suffixes concept (i.e. the es, ing, ed, en, er, est, and y suffixes at the end of a word are very cheerful and ‘cheers on’ the the vowel to the left to make it’s long sound, by saying, “Come on vowel, you can do it! Say your long sound!”).
Each story is divided into 3 or 4 levels (stories with more basic concepts, like I Like Games, only have levels 1-3):
- Level 1– Appropriate for students in grades 1-2. Very short sentences, mostly containing sight words. Only 1 or 2 words per sentence need to be decoded. Each page only has 1 sentence. Text is quite large. Large pictures accompany the text on each page.
- Level 2– Appropriate for students in grades 2-3. Longer sentences with 2-3 words that need to be decoded. Each page only has 1 sentence. Text is smaller than level 1. Large pictures accompany the text on each page.
- Level 3– Appropriate for students in grades 3-4. Longer sentences with more frequency of words that need to be decoded. Each sentence has 2-3 phrases. Each page has multiple sentences. Smaller pictures accompany the text on each page.
- Level 4– Appropriate for students in grades 4-6. Longest sentences of all the levels. Sentences have 2-3 phrases. Each page only has a large number of sentences. Pictures are only included every few pages.
I Like Games is a positive story about a boy who loves to play games! His friend is also a gamer, and one of their favorite games is chess. Although he loves to win, he also knows that it is okay to lose and that he can still enjoy the game when he does not complain or whine. He knows that simply playing the game and having fun is the most important part!
