Readers will be encouraged to actively test items to see if they sink or float. Activities that can extend this book into other areas of the curriculum or into the home are endless. Here are just a few ideas. Have fun! Collect a group of objects. Make a guess about which objects will float and which will sink. Try it out. You are testing the buoyancy of an object. Why do some objects float and others do not? How can the buoyancy of an object be changed? Can you change a sinker into a floater? Can a floater become a sinker? Try these out:-Place a bottle in the water and then take the cap off.-Make boats out of different materials. Then change the shape of each boat. -Add marbles, paper clips, or coins to a boat that is floating. -Add some dish soap to the water. Watch what happens to the floating objects due to the change in the surface tension of the water.

The Chall-Popp Phonics program was created because more than 70 years of research has shown that children who learn phonics achieve better scores on tests of word identification, accuracy of oral reading, silent reading comprehension, and fluency than those who do not learn phonics. The instructional design of Chall-Popp Phonics was guided by research on prerequisites to reading: phonemic awareness and visual discrimination, phonic generalizations and word patterns, syllabication, the study of affixes, and automaticity. Teachers are alerted to the prerequisite skills, outlined by Helen Popp, that may slow down the student's progress in acquiring reading skills. Those explicitly addressed in Level A (kindergarten) include instructional vocabulary; concepts about letters, words, sentences, and stories; the concept that print represents sound in a left to right, top to bottom sequence; and motor skills (letter tracing). Research also guided the creation of the pages in the Chall-Popp Phonics student books. Formats for pages were tested informally with students and teachers in selected Cambridge, Massachusetts, schools; teachers who have used the program also provided feedback and were helpful in making decisions for the latest edition. Research has also shown that a teacher is critical to the success that students achieve in learning to read. John B. Carroll concluded that teachers who understand the fundamentals of the relationship of print to speech will be better equipped to help all their students. The teacher's editions of Chall-Popp Phonics have been designed and written to provide specific background phonics information on every page for teachers who may not have had the advantage of formal study in teaching phonics . The Chall-Popp Phonics student edition takes a systematic approach to direct phonics instruction and has been a teacher favorite for years. A student-friendly book design and a variety of stories and characters keep students in first grade engaged and ready to learn. The book reviews the alphabet and teaches the sounds and letters for consonants and short vowels in the same sequence as the level A book. Children progress to consonant blends and digraphs and to long vowels in the regular and predictable 'silent e' pattern. Long vowel digraphs are introduced in the last unit. Plurals and verb forms are introduced in this book. A two-page Progress Check helps teachers assess children's understanding of the unit concepts. With the Take-home Booklet in each unit, children can share what they've learned and practice reading with the family.
