**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Hi Alissa, We are using a text by UPP called Entry Point for a week 5th grade class. it is very clear and simple. It has book 1 and book 2. In addition to the book you will have to give them basic phonics instruction. a nice tool to use is a spiral notebook that you use as a "flip book" for sounding out words. slice the first section of pages into 3 sections, hold the notebook with the spiral on top and mark the middle section with vowels and consonants on the outer sections. Then you can flip through the different letter sounds leaving the same vowel in the middle. It's a good hands on activity for the children to make and use. It encourages them to practice sounding out new words. good luck, Mara ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
