The Purple Series follows the Blue Series, and consists of 10 Photo Titles. As the Purple Series progresses, the following concepts are introduced:
long vowels in vowel-consonant-e pattern (“marker” <e> marks the preceding vowel long)
consonant digraphs <kn> and <wr>
replace <e> suffixing convention
3 syllable words
suffix <-y>, <-er>, <-ful>, <-est>, and <-ly>
prefix <un-> and <re->
High Frequency Words: “their”, “some”, “where/there”
The Purple Series has slightly smaller font size and spacing, and includes a greater selection of polysyllabic words for young readers to explore. It includes stories that are both narrative in structure and non-fiction. The Purple Series also includes some well known Canadian destinations, including Niagara Falls in Ontario, and Hopewell Rocks in Nova Scotia. Its vivid photos are engaging, and texts informative.
We have created 3 versions of our Scope and Sequence - all include the same content, but are in different printable formats. Please feel free to download whichever version best suits your needs.
