 The
Sentence Master
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.
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.
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. |
Here's how the program works...
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.
|
|

Writing
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.
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.
|
-
-
- 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
