PASS leads to reading! It is the first-ever, research-based, phonological awareness program for preschoolers that extends to early elementary-aged children. It is aligned to state and national standards, including the common core standards for English Language Arts. Goldie the Dog is the program mascot—she makes it all really fun! Goldie is an engaging puppy hand-puppet that will motivate your young students to rhyme, segment and blend syllables, and segment and blend phonemes—the phonological awareness skills that lead to early literacy skills. Six distinct research studies have demonstrated that direct instruction using PASS—which includes 3 units of instruction (Rhyming, Blending, and Segmentation) and 76 lessons of instruction—has a significant positive effect on childrenâ€™s development of phonological awareness skills. PASS explicitly addresses national Head Start and state Preschool Learning Fundamentals outcomes in the areas of Language and Literacy and supports development in outcomes for Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, Creative Arts Expression, and Physical Development and Health. The complete PASS kit includes: Three spiralbound Teacherâ€™s Guides: Rhyming, Blending, Segmentation Spiralbound Student Flip Book Spiralbound Implementation Guide Goldie the puppy puppet 9 storybooks 7 game boards with game pieces 380 game cards Miscellaneous manipulative materials based on a puppy theme PDFs on CD-ROM
