Notes:
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DECODABLE BOOK AND A LEVELED BOOK e.g. PM Readers. Both types of books improve fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. At some point both types should be a part of a reader’s personal library. While a decodable book focuses on one phonic/spelling pattern, leveled books or Graded Readers similar to the PM Readers, combine many phonetic patterns, sight words, and vocabulary. As the word knowledge, vocabulary, and sentence structure increase in difficulty, the level of the book increases. Depending on the difficulty of these components, publishers “level” the text accordingly.In PM Gold level, sentences are more complicated and are of an average length of ten words. To complete this level successfully, children needs to apply reading strategies such as breaking long words down into syllables. Multi-syllable words are used frequently throughout this level.Gold level consolidates young readers' recognition of common suffixes. It enhances their understanding of the two parts in compound words. It also helps them grasp word onsets.Text type: Narrative (Imaginative)
