The New Edition of the Bridge to Reading Guide is a companion to the Phonics Guide and Lesson Plans Volume 1. The Bridge to Reading Guide uses visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic and body language strategies to teach phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, sound segmentation, letter recognition and formation, letter sound/symbol relationship, and word-blending for reading and writing. It is tailored for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten learners with a monthly scope and sequence for direct skill instruction, and the 'Week at a Glance' has weekly planning tailored to each letter. The guide contains student activities like the 'Bridge Sound Slide', 'Bridge Word Wheel', and 'Bridge Independent Practice.'
