Do you have students who are having trouble learning to read? The Sentence Master guarantees success for children who are at risk of reading failure due to difficulties in phonics, oral language, and/or impulsive learning styles.

Suggested for students (K-12) with:
• Autism, developmental disabilities, language-learning disabilities, hearing impairments, and AAC users
• Also appropriate for adults with developmental disabilities

Product Description:
What exactly is The Sentence Master?
It is a revolutionary remedial reading program developed by Dr. Marion Blank. The Sentence Master is designed for students who are struggling to learn to read or haven’t responded to a phonics-based approach. Additional Information

The Sentence Master ensures success by providing:

• Mastery of non-content words
The program focuses on non-content words, such as “the,” “is,” “and,” etc. While limited in number, these words make up the majority of any page of text.

• Failure-free learning
All of the word activities and stories are designed so that students never have to read or write a word that has not been fully mastered.

• An emphasis on accurate spelling
This enables students to easily discriminate small differences in words (e.g. bus/but, top/too) and to effectively write every word they learn.

• Carefully-controlled sentences
Unlike other reading programs, the stories use tightly controlled syntax which facilitates the development of comprehension skills.

Dr. Marion Blank answers frequently-asked questions here. The Sentence Master Assessment Test will help you determine which level of the program is appropriate.

Additional information

Four Levels of Reading Instruction
The Sentence Master is divided into four levels. At each level, the sentence structures and stories become progressively more complex. Once your students have successfully completed Level 1, you'll want to continue their progress with Levels 2, 3, and 4.

Each level of The Sentence Master contains:
• 50-75 new words
• 8 animated computer stories
• 8 Story Booklets with writing and comprehension exercise

Activities

Here's how the program works...

The Word activities
Word Activities train new words that will later appear in stories.

Four different computer activities teach one word per day. An encouraging voice provides guidance and informational feedback, while optional amusing animated characters reward correct answers.

Word Recognition Here, the student selects the word that matches the example at the top of the screen.		Sequential Recognition In this activity, the student selects all instances of a particular word in the order he or she would normally read them.
Spelling In a series of spelling activities that do not require letter naming, the student: • completes words by finding the missing letters on the screen • chooses letters from the screen to spell an entire word • types in the entire word		Sentence Completion Here, the student finds the missing word to complete a sentence.

The Writing activities

With these activities, students write, by hand or on the computer, the word just learned as well as whole sentences containing the new word and words that have already been taught.

The Book activities

Stories on the computer foster independent reading… with help always available.
After learning a set of words, the student is introduced to an animated story that contains only those words that have been mastered. First, the computer reads the story aloud and then the student reads it alone. Help is always available... at any time, the student can have a word or the entire page read aloud by the computer.

Simple on-screen icons can be used to hear the text read aloud, repeat the animation sequence, and move forward or backward within the story.

Story Booklets transfer the reader to print with ease.
After working with the story on the computer, the student is introduced to a printed version of the same story. After reading it, the student completes sentences by filling in the blank spaces. These exercises are designed to strengthen both writing and comprehension skills.
