Reading Pathways
Simple Exercises to Improve Reading Fluency

Equally effective as a complement to Phonics Pathways (0-7879-7910-4) or as a stand-alone resource, this new book offers a highly effective approach to developing reading speed, accuracy, and vocabulary. It consists of word pyramids that start with one word and gradually build into complete sentences of increasing complexity.
