VERNON
HILLS, IL, April 2002—ETA/Cuisenaire introduces
Reading Rods® Phonics for grades
K–3—the newest addition to their award-winning
line of educational products. Reading
Rods Phonics is a comprehensive,
full-year program that teaches the
phonics skills students need, using manipulatives they will
love!
The
Reading Rods Phonics program utilizes the highly successful
color-coded, interlocking
Reading Rods, which have quickly become the
favored manipulatives for reading instruction. In just two
years, schools in over 25% of the nation’s school
districts are using the product. Judith Weitzenkorn, a Title
I Director in Massachusetts, says, "By being able
to physically manipulate the rods, the children really mastered
and retained the material. My students love using the Reading
Rods. They just think that they are having fun. What a great
way to camouflage learning!"
Building
on the popularity of Reading Rods, the manipulative-based
Reading Rods Phonics program provides a fresh, new approach
to teaching phonics by combining hands-on Reading Rods with
engaging Student Activity Books, easy-to-use teacher lessons,
and creative extension ideas. This interactive program will
keep students focused on key literacy skills, while making
learning to
read fun!
