Book 3: The focus of Hill Reader Book 3 (Grade 1) is a cumulative review of short vowel CVC words with a, i, o, and u. Book 3 contains 11 chapters, 41 stories, and 210 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.
