Dolores Hiskes's materials are our most powerful tools for helping kids achieve confidence and independence in reading . . . The pyramid practice in Reading Pathways strengthens eye tracking and gives learners immediate practice with the concepts they just learned in a bigger setting. Non-readers find initial success in the presentation of short vowel words and stories. The pyramid stories provide an opportunity for multiple readings of the words and phrases, an exercise which is very empowering for emerging readers.\"\u003cbr\u003e —Becky Faherty, director, Kids Read, Inc., Gaithersburg, Maryland\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Reading Pathways led my children so gently through the pyramids that they were reading big words before they knew it!

As the student moves from the pinnacle to the base of each pyramid, the phrase or sentence becomes a more interesting and expansive, and the student's confidence grows with each line completed. Progressively building up the amount of text per line increases eye span, strengthens eye tracking, and develops reading fluency. The book also features more challenging multi-syllable word pyramid exercises and games to further develop fluency and vocabulary. Learning to read long words by syllables removes the fear and mystique of multi-syllable words and helps students build the strong vocabulary so critical for success in reading and writing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDewey® and Dewey Decimal Classification® are proprietary trademarks of OCLC Online Computer Library Center, and are used with permission.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDewey the Bookworm™, Dewey D.
