RSTL Primer has two workbooks. Workbook A begins with pre-writing exercises and then teaches the first 26 phonograms--the alphabet. Students have a variety of activities as they learn how to write all the letters in the alphabet and practice the sounds with phonemic awareness exercises. Workbook A also teaches CVC words and type 1 silent e words. This workbook can be used BEFORE beginning the RSTL Primer textbook. After completing it, you can move on to the RSTL Primer text and Workbook B, which will include activities for practicing the spelling words from the Primer text.
