Sun Reading System
Why I develop it?
- to provide a multisensory, systematic, sequential and cumulative reading program that is
user-friendly for teachers and parents
- difficulty in finding decodable texts and exercises that complement each lesson plan
- to help busy parents who need to work consistently with their children at home
- to guide students who have learning and reading difficulties such as dyslexia
- to guide low progress students and those who have difficulty learning English as a second language (spelling, reading, comprehension and writing difficulties)
What is taught?
- phonological awareness
- sound symbol association (phonics)
- syllable instructions
- morphology (base words, roots, prefixes and suffixes)
- syntax (grammar, sentence variations and the mechanics of language)
- semantics (meaning and the comprehension of written language)
Components of the Reading System:It consists of 13 levels and five stages (colour coded). The materials consist of:
- lesson plans
- wordcards
- readers
- reading skills
- word study
Additional materials include:
- workbooks (grammar, comprehension and composition)
- books (decodable, fiction and non fiction)
Stage 1: Pink - Level 1 (#18), Level 2 (#8), Level 3 (#11)
Stage 2: Light Blue – Level 1 (#8), Level 2 (#23)
Stage 3: Green – Level 1 (#6), Level 2 (#22), Level 3 (#26)
Stage 4: Blue – Level 1 (#7), Level 2 (#7)
Stage 5: Orange – Level 1, Level 2, Level 3
# - number of lesson plan
Total: 136 lesson plans (Stage 1 - 4)
How long does it take to complete this reading system? It depends on- the age of the child and his or her background knowledge
- the child’s condition (the level of severity)
- the child’s ability to stay focus and to complete task
- the number of lesson plan a child and a tutor/parent can do in a week
A child (about nine years old, moderately dyslexic) may take about 1 to 11/2 year to reach his or her grade level. It may also take more than 2 years for some students who need more guidance to reach grade level.
