NOT BEFORE FOURTH GRADE by Norann Lafon is a step-by-step resource for teachers, parents, volunteers, coaches, home-school instructors, and facilitators. It includes all the pages of THE WORKBOOK which can be reproduced as needed and selected for your student’s use. Please use the sequence presented. Your student(s) don’t need to do every word on every page. When the student understands each concept, they can move on to the next.
NOT BEFORE FOURTH GRADE includes the forty-four sounds of English, the seven syllables in which the five vowel sounds are determined, and completes the phonetic explanation of how words work. Phonetic pronunciations of learning to read transitions to the meaningful (morphemic) syllables of reading to learn.
No fair giving up on kids who aren’t testing at reading proficiency after third grade. They need the fourth-grade curriculum. No one can read “English” without word-attack skills that include the influences of Greek and Latin languages. NOT BEFORE FOURTH GRADE presents the phonetic skills of sounds and spellings needed to finish phonetic decoding of “learn to read.” This information allows mature students to conclude phonetic study and move to the meanings (morphemes) understanding of how to “read to learn”.
THE WORKBOOK is available for purchase separately as well as included in NOT BEFORE FOURTH GRADE as reproducible pages.
