More Adventures of THE SUPERKIDS! Here we come!

Dear Family,
Your child’s reading and writing adventures continue as we begin the next level of
The Rowland Reading Program, More Adventures of the Superkids. The goal is to build uponthe skills children have already learned, so reading comes more naturally and independently.Then they will be able to spend more energy on understanding what they are reading and expressing their ideas in writing.

In the previous level, Adventures of the Superkids, your child learned that the same
sound can be spelled in different ways, such as the long o sound in no, note, and boat, and how to use patterns and rules to read and spell words with endings and other difficult words.

In this level, your child will learn that the same letters can stand for more than one sound, such as oo in moon and book, and other words that are tricky to read and spell. Children willuse new patterns and rules as well as memorization to read and spell tricky words. Your child will continue to bring home a spelling list of Memory Words, Pattern Words, and trickers every week to prepare for the spelling tests.
Help your child memorize the spelling of the Memory Words and practice using patterns and rules to spell the Pattern Words and trickers.

As children’s understanding of words grows, they will be able to read the longer, more challenging stories about the Superkids in the More Adventures of the Superkids Reader. The journey to being a “real reader” isn’t easy, but you and your child will be amazed how far your child will have come by the end of the year.

Sincerely,
Pleasant Rowland, Author of The Rowland Reading Program
