Do you
have students who are having trouble learning to read? The Sentence
Master guarantees success for children who are at risk of reading
failure due to difficulties in phonics, oral language, and/or impulsive
learning styles. The Sentence Master is a revolutionary way to teach
beginning reading developed by Dr. Marion Blank. Avoiding the confusing
rules of phonics and the complexity of whole language, The Sentence
Master focuses on the most frequently-used words of our language (i.e. "the" "is"
"but," "and," etc.) By truly teaching these "little words," The Sentence
Master gives students control over the majority of text they will ever
encounter.
What makes The Sentence Master so effective?
First, the student spends 15-30 minutes working on the computer and
writing activities that teach one word per day. After learning a set of
5 to 10 words, they read an animated story on the computer and then
reads the same story on paper. All of the word activities and stories are
designed so that children never see words that they have not fully
mastered.
The Word Activities
Word Activities train new words that will later appear in stories.
Four 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
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.
The 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.
Story Booklets transfer the reader to print with ease.
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.
Four Levels of Reading Instruction
The Sentence Master is divided into four levels. At each level, the
sentence structures and stories become progressively more complex. Once
your students have successfully completed Level 1, you'll want to
continue their progress with Levels 2, 3, and 4.
 Each
level of The Sentence Master contains:
• 40-70 new words
• 8 animated computer stories
• 8 Story Booklets with writing and comprehension exercises
