A part of the LIFEPAC^® 1st Grade Language Arts curriculum, Reading Basics Book 4 was designed with your new reader in mind. Utilizing mostly 1- and 2-syllable words, the stories in Flying My Kite gradually increase in length and difficulty. Long vowel words, -ing endings, -ed endings, -y endings, silent e, as well as more digraphs and diphthongs, are some of the phonics concepts covered in this child-friendly reader.

Based on a systematic phonics approach, Reading Basics Book 4 contains 24 high-interest stories sure to please any young reader! Since drilling of high-frequency sight words helps to increase fluency, this reader includes a list of instant words used in the stories. While this reader can be used independently, teaching instructions for incorporating its use into the LIFEPAC^® 1st Grade Language Arts homeschool program are detailed within the LIFEPAC^® 1st Grade Language Arts Teacher's Guides. Comprehension questions can be found in the Reading Basics Reader Study Guide.
