New Hampshire Framework Correlations: Story of Read-Alee-Deed-Alee

THE STORY OF READ-ALEE- DEED-ALEE is an early reading series designed to introduce young children to the alphabet and to related sounds and rhyming patterns that unlock words and the meaning of words. The programs focus on 15 basic sound-spelling patterns, useful to early readers. In each program, a featured sound-spelling pattern (i.e., POP) is introduced. Rhyming and substitution are used to generate words that spin-off the featured word. Students are encouraged to practice rhyming and substituting on their own, using the sound patterns featured. Next, letters and sounds heard at the beginning and ending of words that appear in the program are highlighted. Finally, students see a story being read and go on a video field trip. The content of a fast-paced story features the adventures of a magical dragon named Read-Alee-Deed-Alee. The dragon's adventures take place in a land where people love to read.
