The Sentence Master is  a revolutionary remedial reading program designed for students who are struggling to learn to read or haven’t responded to a phonics-based approach. Individual programs available below. The Sentence Master Assessment Test will help determine which level of the program is appropriate. Frequently Asked Questions are answered by the author. Success is ensured by providing: Mastery of non-content words The program focuses on non-content words, such as “the,” “is,” “and,” etc. While limited in number, these words make up the majority of any page of text. Failure-free learning All of the word activities and stories are designed so that students never have to read or write a word that has not been fully mastered. An emphasis on accurate spelling This enables students to easily discriminate small differences in words (e.g. bus/but, top/too) and to effectively write every word they learn.   Carefully-controlled sentences Unlike other reading programs, the stories use tightly controlled syntax which facilitates the development of comprehension skills. Here's how the program works: Four Word Activities 4 different computer activities teach one word per day. An encouraging voice provides guidance and informational feedback, while optional amusing animated characters reward correct answers Word Recognition Here, the student selects the word that matches the example at the top of the screen. Sequential Recognition In this activity, the student selects all instances of a particular word in the order he or she would normally read them. Spelling In a series of spelling activities that do not require letter naming, the student: • completes words by finding the missing letters on the screen • chooses letters from the screen to spell an entire word • types in the entire word   Sentence Completion Here, the student finds the missing word to complete a sentence. Writing Activities With these activities, students write, by hand or on the computer, the word just learned as well as whole sentences containing the new word and words that have already been taught.   Book Activities Stories on the computer foster independent reading… with help always available. After learning a set of words, the student is introduced to an animated story that contains only those words that have been mastered. First, the computer reads the story aloud and then the student reads it alone. Help is always available... at any time, the student can have a word or the entire page read aloud by the computer. Simple on-screen icons can be used to hear the text read aloud, repeat the animation sequence, and move forward or backward within the story. Story Booklet Activities Stories on the computer foster independent reading… with help always available. After working with the story on the computer, the student is introduced to a printed version of the same story. After reading it, the student completes sentences by filling in the blank spaces. These exercises are designed to strengthen both writing and comprehension skills.
