Comprehension
The 286 reproducible Comprehension activities provide an extensive amount of word recognition practice and comprehension reinforcement. These activities include a variety of formats in which the students read and comprehend words and phrases. The students choose from answers consisting of illustrations, words, or phrases. Multisensory activities are included and involve circling words, drawing lines between words or phrases and illustrations, cutting and placing illustrations, and underlining phrases. The students will enjoy completing the assignment on their own, with a buddy, or with a family member.
Spelling
The 75 reproducible Spelling activities provide both reinforcement for recognition of new reading words and a beginning spelling experience. A Spelling activity follows every two new words learned. The student can write or sign the answers.
Homework
The 233 reproducible Homework activities are a fun way to reinforce classroom learning. Many students require extra practice with word recognition and reading after school to retain what they learned. The students also enjoy demonstrating their reading ability to parents and family. The eight different types of homework activities differ from the activities practiced during class, provide word recognition practice, and promote generalization.
Take-Away Readers
The 50 reproducible Take-Away Readers are four-page stories with photographs that illustrate the stories and emphasize words students have learned in current and previous lessons. The readers engage students in fun, confidence-building activities that extend literacy experiences at school and home. Students can read the stories aloud to staff and peers at school, and then take the readers home to read aloud to family and friends. In this way the students can experience the pleasure of sharing their reading achievements.
Bingo
These reproducible activities reinforce the words taught in the program and help students generalize and demonstrate their reading skills. Bingo consists of 150 bingo boards and 150 bingo cards. The bingo cards can be copied and cut apart or copied onto business card sheets.

Detailed information on administration, scoring, and interpreting results is provided in the Mastery Test Manual.
Stories Level 1
The 86 short fictional stories are illustrated with full-color art and enable students to practice reading words they have learned to recognize, but in a new context.
