Kim Ramsey’s Stories from Somerville Readers and Comprehension Workbooks are now available as pdf downloads!

These stories have several unique features:

• As they progress, the same characters reappear, providing a continuity much like a chapter book.  Students follow the adventures of Sam, Ace, June, and their pals from story to story – at home, school, band contests, dances, and more – as each new reading skill is added.
• The stories are not about real people, but they reflect typical experiences of real children and describe common social interactions among children.
• They were originally developed for a group of elementary school children with reading disabilities.  Some also had behavioral difficulties or came from families who acted out anger inappropriately.  In several stories, some characters misbehave.  This gives students a non-threatening chance to see what their behavior looks like to others.  It provides a non-personal, yet realistic setting that children can relate to while they read and discuss the stories.
• In both books, above the title of each story is a list of at least ten words that typify the skill or pattern introduced in that story.  The Table of Contents includes the skills added in each story and the sight words necessary for that story.

This cleverly written collection of 75 engaging stories introduces phonetic skills and patterns sequentially in an order compatible with most Orton-Gillingham phonics programs.

Now get both readers and their comprehension
 workbooks as pdf downloads for less than $50.
(That’s $20 below the cost of the printed set!)
