Hill Readers Book 4

Book 4: Hill Reader Book 4 (Grade 1) provides practice on recognizing and decoding closed syllable CCVC words with L-Blends (play), R-Blends (trap), and S-Blends (shed). Book 4 contains 20 chapters, 52 stories, and 269 comprehension questions. Hill Readers are a series of 13 phonetically controlled, decodable texts that are designed to complement the Hill Reading Achievement Program (HillRAP); they can be used independently or to supplement any Orton-Gillingham influenced reading program. The Hill Readers are aligned with the HillRAP word attack phonics sequence, and each text (Grades K-4) focuses on specific phonetic patterns with high frequency words introduced at the beginning of each story. Comprehension questions, based on the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (2001), are included. Hill Readers give emerging readers the opportunity to apply learned phonics skills, and transition to a focus on comprehension. The Lost City? probes the question of truth or myth. Follow the evolution of a mystery that has captured the human imagination from ancient Greece to the present.
