• Levels 1 and 2 each contain 65 carefully sequenced lessons
• Assessment Lessons are used every 10 lessons
• Placement Test and Student Assessment Charts are provided
• Each level contains complete scope and sequence for skills taught
• Consumable workbooks provide teacher-directed and independent activities for every skill introduced.
• Teacher guides provide explicit, scripted instruction

High Noon Reading focuses on the development of decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills while also building skills in spelling, writing, and vocabulary. Each level follows a sequence of skills that correlates to the skills typically taught in classroom reading programs.

High Noon Reading, Level 1 contains 65 lessons focusing on one-syllable words. Skills taught include decoding words that have short and long vowels, consonant blends and digraphs, variant vowels, diphthongs, spelling patterns, and sight words. After completing Lesson 10 (Level 1) Students can begin reading Sound Out Chapter Books

High Noon Reading, Level 2 contains 65 lessons focusing on multisyllable words. Skills taught include decoding words that have inflectional endings, prefixes and suffixes, and other forms of multiple syllables.

Each of two levels contains 65 lessons. Each lesson begins with a review of previously taught decoding skills and is followed by the presentation of a new skill. Skills are applied as students read the lessons passage and are practiced as teacher-directed and independent workbook activities are completed. Practice lessons provide material that can be used with students who require additional instruction and practice. Teacher preparation is minimal, and each lesson can be completed in 30-40 minutes.
