Recipe for Reading is a research-based, comprehensive, multisensory, phonics-based reading program that is designed for beginning readers in grades K-3. Recipe for Reading incorporates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic techniques to teach and reinforce phonetic concepts. We generally work on a letter sound or blend weekly, and we introduce one or two red words per week. Red words are words that do not follow the phonic rules that have been taught to students and therefore must be committed to memory.
