Improved standards from many worked examples provided throughout the year, ranging from oral comprehension answers to written formal well structured pieces Donors to Hooked on Books for Kids receive a quarterly newsletter about our activities and achievements Each workbook begins with a review of the previous lessons and steps, to make sure the child has mastered the learning before moving on to the next step. The lessons start by systematically introducing a short-vowel word family, such as -at, -an, or -ap. By combining these word families with simple consonant sounds, a child will begin to read words such as cat, can, and cap. Comprehension is strengthened as a child matches words to pictures and engages in fun activities that provide additional practice with the newly learned words. Every lesson is followed by a simple story composed of the words that have just been introduced, to solidify the learning and turn the child into a reader! The lessons also present common sight words through fun co-reading poems and contain sections that encourage writing about something that has been read. After learning short-vowel word families, learners will move on to beginning and ending blends, digraphs, inflectional endings, and more. Every step is designed to turn a child into a successful reader!At Hooked on Books we will be happy to publish your book in return for the appropriate fees, once the content has been brought to a publishable standard. Most manuscripts do need editing, and we’ll advise on what work yours needs and provide an estimate (no obligation). We will share this process with you.

Q: You say that Americans are more cognizant of these processed foods, and that food giants like Nestle are producing “better” processed food. What has been the result of this movement? Hooked on Books for Kids is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization devoted to literacy, the love of reading, and life-long learning among the underprivileged children and youth of Erie County, Pennsylvania. It accomplishes these missions by giving brand-new, high quality books to needy children and youth from birth to age 18 and by providing adult volunteer readers and new books for every child each month in grades K through 5 at Edison and Lincoln Schools. Reading is crucial to children's development and potential for success in life. Research shows that children who read books often at age 10 and continue to read through adolescence, gain higher results in maths, vocabulary and spelling tests at age 16 than those who read less regularly.The Hooked on Phonics story began in 1987 with a determined father and a boy whose reading struggles left him constantly begging to stay home from school. The father, John, was determined to help his son overcome his reading troubles, so he started by using the old-fashioned method of sounding out words.

Hooked on Books for Kids volunteers read & deliver freebooks monthly to children in grades Pre-K through 5 at Edison Elementary SchoolMoss: Bacon cheeseburgers have terrific elements that get the brain excited. It has the fat, the sugar in the bun, the salt, the smell, the contrast; it’s six differing things. Most importantly, here’s why, I wrote Hooked, realizing that more than just fat, what the food industry does, it’s tapping into our basic instincts. The problem is the food companies have changed the nature of our food and have made overeating an everyday thing.The more calories the food has, the more excited the brain gets about eating it.
