Hill Readers Book 12

Book 12: Hill Reader Book 12 (Grade 4) contains words with mixed vowel teams (mermaid, eagle), and introduces two-syllable words with silent letters (wrestle). Book 12 contains 19 chapters, 54 stories, and 271 comprehension questions. Hill Readers are a series of 13 phonetically controlled, decodable texts that are designed to complement the Hill Reading Achievement Program (HillRAP); they can be used independently or to supplement any Orton-Gillingham influenced reading program. The Hill Readers are aligned with the HillRAP word attack phonics sequence, and each text (Grades K-4) focuses on specific phonetic patterns with high frequency words introduced at the beginning of each story. Comprehension questions, based on the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (2001), are included. Hill Readers give emerging readers the opportunity to apply learned phonics skills, and transition to a focus on comprehension.
