Explode the Code 3 2E

Explode the Code 3 2E builds on foundational phonics skills with systematic instruction in consonant blends, digraphs, and silent letters. Students work through structured lessons covering bl, cl, fl blends, sh, ch, th digraphs, and challenging concepts like silent b in "lamb" and silent k in "knee." Each lesson follows a consistent format with sound introduction, word building exercises, and reading practice using decodable text.

The workbook integrates spelling patterns with comprehension activities, requiring students to read short passages and answer questions about content. Visual cues and picture clues support emerging readers while gradually building independence with more complex phonetic patterns. Designed for second and third grade students, the sequential lessons align with structured literacy approaches used in many elementary reading programs.

This second edition maintains the proven methodology while updating illustrations and refining exercise sequences based on classroom feedback. The systematic progression prepares students for more advanced phonics concepts while reinforcing previously learned skills through cumulative review activities.
