Fisher Hill Store - Products

Each level begins with the English Reading and Spelling workbook.  After completing the English Reading and Spelling workbook, students can begin the English Reading Comprehension workbook.  The purpose of the English Reading Comprehension workbook is to help Spanish speakers improve their English reading comprehension skills.  Reading comprehension is the ability to draw meaning from written words.

The English Reading Comprehension workbooks are made up of twenty lessons.  Lessons include practice with fluency, vocabulary, visualization, comprehension, phonology and phonics.  There is an answer key at the end of each lesson.

Reading smoothly (fluency) is an important skill. Fluency allows readers to think about what they are reading instead of thinking about sounding out words. Decoding skills need to be learned and practiced so these skills become automatic when reading words.  Visualizing (making pictures in your head) helps readers remember what they have read. Good vocabulary skills help readers visualize.  Readers cannot visualize a word if they do not know its meaning. All of these skills:  fluency, visualizing, vocabulary, and decoding are necessary for reading comprehension.

Reading comprehension is the goal of reading. Reading is an essential skill for jobs and daily life.  Many people enjoy reading and say it is one of their favorite pastimes.  Others read only when it is necessary. Whichever the case may be, everyone needs to know how to read.  Learning to read comes more easily to some people than others.  Most people need to be taught how to read.  It is different from learning to talk. Learning to read can be very difficult for some people but with practice, most everyone can learn to read.

On our website, if you click on any workbook, you can view sample pages from that book.

On our website, there are placement tests to determine on which level a student should begin the literacy program.  A student needs a score of 80% to go to the next level. For example, if a student gets 60% on the placement test for level one, then that student needs to begin with level one with English Reading and Spelling for the Spanish Speaker Book 1. Each level begins with the Reading and Spelling workbook.

These placement tests can be found under Teacher Resources on our website www.Fisher-Hill.com.  Teacher Resources can be found on the top tool bar.  Click on Teacher Resources, then click on Reading and Spelling.  Then scroll down to the placement tests. The placement tests are called Sound Spelling Placement Test Book 1 and so forth. Sound Spelling Placement Test Book 1 is for level one. Here you will also find instructions on how to give the tests.

There are other teacher resources for these workbooks on our website.  There is a Scope and Sequence to help you use the workbooks. There are Word and Sentence Practice pages and Word Chains to help with fluency.

Visit us online at www.Fisher-Hill.com to view all of our workbooks.  If you have any questions about our workbooks or how to navigate our  website you can email us at [email protected] or call us at 1-888-407-1187.

Reading Fluency Practice

 

Reading Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately, quickly and with expression.  Fluent readers can think about what they are reading.  Fluent readers recognize words automatically. They do not need to concentrate on decoding words instead they can concentrate on what the text means.  Most fluent readers recognize words and comprehend at the same time. They can make connections with the ideas in the text and their own personal knowledge. Reading Fluency Practice is a key factor in reading fluency.

Fisher Hill’s English Literacy Program has six Comprehension workbooks that include stories in which students can practice their reading fluency and comprehension.  In Book 1 the stories are short and as the students progress through the workbooks, the stories get longer. Each workbook has twenty lessons so there are twenty stories in each book.  The workbooks are written for Spanish speakers learning English but the stories and activities are to learn English so all ESL learners can benefit from the stories and activities.

Reading Comprehension is the ability to extract meaning from written words.  Fluency and vocabulary play an important role in reading comprehension.
