Sunrise 2nd Edition

Reading 1 is a 12-week course that follows Learning to Read, Christian Light’s first-grade phonics course.

The stories and poems in the reader I Wonder develop reading skills while building character. Stories are illustrated with colorful artwork and teach honesty, good habits, thankfulness, and trust.

After reading each story, students complete the exercises in the LightUnits. Students may do some exercises independently. Self checks and tests measure the student’s mastery of the material.

The course consists of five LightUnits, a hardcover reader, and a Teacher’s Guide.  View the course scope and sequence.

Two study methods are available:

LightUnit Study Method

The LightUnit study works well in any setting and is especially useful for homeschools and schools where teacher involvement is limited. The LightUnits prepare students for quizzes and tests by including systematic review of new concepts. Students may do some exercises independently. This study method includes ten LightUnit workbooks, two readers, and two Teacher’s Guides.

Worksheet Study Method

The Worksheet study is designed for classrooms and requires more teacher involvement. Since the worksheet exercises do not include reviews of new concepts, the teacher must prepare students for quizzes and tests. The worksheets come in two booklets containing a total of 64 two-page lessons. Quizzes and tests for this method are sold separately. This study method includes two Worksheet booklets, one quiz & test pack, and one Teacher’s Guide.
