The Advanced Reading Programme - Funnix 2
Who is it For? Funnix 2 is for children who have completed Funnix Beginning Reading. or - What will it do? Make sure your son or daughter reads independently, able to read chapter books and non-fiction -- like a very fluent 9-10 year old reader. How long will it take? 20 minutes for each lesson, for 100 lessons. What will I get? A Reader Book, two CDs and a Parent Manual that all train your child to love reading.
The Reader This book contains 100 stories, one for each lesson of the programme. The Placement and Review Disc This computer CD has 20 review lessons from Funnix Beginning Reading. You use the Placement Test to check where in the programme your child should start. The main CD has a Parent Guide and the Funnix programme. The Parent Guide shows you how to present the lessons and even how to accelerate your child through the programme. The main reading programme has 100 easy lessons to make your son or daughter a good reader. The Parent Manual This booklet summarizes information from the CDs that is helpful for parents. What's in Each Lesson? 1) Sounds and Words: Children have fun identifying words and letters on the screen. The words are from upcoming stories. So children have a motivated reason to learn every word. The teacher on the disc tells children what to do. Children are directed to sound out some words, spell some, and read some "the fast way" without sounding out. For some words, children first identify the underlined part, then identify the word.  2) Story Reading: Firstly, children read each story from their book aloud. The book purposefully has no illustrations. Illustrations appear on the computer after children have read the story. Most stories are presented in two or more parts. One part per lesson. This story is the first of a five-part story about a moose and a goose.  Stories get longer as the programme continues. This lesson has the last part of a story about a hunting dog with an incredible sense of smell.  Secondly, children answer comprehension questions about the story. Your son or daughter reads each question aloud and tells you the answer.  Thirdly, children read another version of the same story on the computer. Comic style illustrations with balloons show what characters are saying or thinking. Fun animations motivate children to love their reading even more.  3) Workbook-type Activities: Funnix 2 provides workbook type activities on screen. Children number their lined paper and write answers to the on-screen items.
