ABOUT THE AUTHOR, Barbara A. Jackson, M.Ed.

Graduated from Cheyney State University, Cheyney, PA in 1958, Miss Barbara Jackson spent all

of her teaching career in the Philadelphia Public School District, teaching first grade. In 1975, Miss

Jackson created the Magic Sounds Beginning Reading Program out of a need to make the

fundamentals of reading more understandable to children. Parents delighted at seeing how easily

and quickly their children successfully learned to read with phonics. Ms. Jackson’s newer

version of Magic Sounds -- presented all in exciting poetry-- now, is available to you.

Acknowledgements / Dedications

This book is dedicated to Dr. Ethel Turner my reading methods professor and mentor at Cheyney

State University, Cheyney, PA. Without Dr. Turner’s devotion and enthusiasm for excellence in

teaching how to teach children to read and her coaching on how children learn to read, Magic

Sounds Beginning Reading Program would not exist.

A Special Gratitude

To Barbara Jean (Little) Bundick, my classroom aide, for her devotion, and love for children; also,

for keeping me in focus, I thank her.

Applauds

Congratulations to the hundreds of first grade students, I taught over many years, and who

learned to read with great facility through Magic Sounds. I thank them for the fond memories of

how they learned to read through Magic Sounds; and in many cases for sharing their outcomes

and the influence Magic Sounds had on their continuing education through high school, college,

and their careers. Of the many outstanding pupils I have taught, two especially come to mind.

The first student was a handsome young lad who initially had great difficulty sounding out

words merely for lack of tempo. He soon caught on -- found his own rhythm and beat -- shouted

out loudly in class with astonishment when he realized he could read exciting his classmates when

they heard him say: “This is like magic!” Walla – The name, Magic Sounds, was born!

The second student was a beautiful young lassie who grasped quickly how to sound out

words with great skill and fluency. She presented me with her keepsake, a golden key trinket that

dangled from a frayed blue ribbon, and told me that she didn’t need it anymore and that I could

keep it or give it to someone else, because she knows how to read, now! Abracadabra – The

Magic Sounds’ logo was created.... a Gold Key!

Kudos

I am especially thankful to Dr. Russell A. Jackson, my oldest brother, for his confidence in Magic

Sounds and for his never-ending willingness to proof read and offer enhancements and

improvements to Magic Sounds.

C... Test the student’s MASTERY of the lesson as stated below:

HOW TO TEST MASTERY?

Mastery is achieved when the student can correctly read 7 out of any 10 randomly

selected items from the STUDENT BOOK assignment. Do not proceed to the

next lesson until the student has successfully mastered the present lesson.

How To Grade Mastery?

10 items correct A (Excellent) = 100%

ABOUT THE AUTHOR, Barbara A. Jackson, M.Ed.

Graduated from Cheyney State University, Cheyney, PA in 1958, Miss Barbara Jackson spent all

of her teaching career in the Philadelphia Public School District, teaching first grade. In 1975, Miss

Jackson created the Magic Sounds Beginning Reading Program out of a need to make the

fundamentals of reading more understandable to children. Parents delighted at seeing how easily

and quickly their children successfully learned to read with phonics. Ms. Jackson’s newer

version of Magic Sounds -- presented all in exciting poetry-- now, is available to you.

Acknowledgements / Dedications

This book is dedicated to Dr. Ethel Turner my reading methods professor and mentor at Cheyney

State University, Cheyney, PA. Without Dr. Turner’s devotion and enthusiasm for excellence in

teaching how to teach children to read and her coaching on how children learn to read, Magic

Sounds Beginning Reading Program would not exist.

A Special Gratitude

To Barbara Jean (Little) Bundick, my classroom aide, for her devotion, and love for children; also,

for keeping me in focus, I thank her.

Applauds

Congratulations to the hundreds of first grade students, I taught over many years, and who

learned to read with great facility through Magic Sounds. I thank them for the fond memories of

how they learned to read through Magic Sounds; and in many cases for sharing their outcomes

and the influence Magic Sounds had on their continuing education through high school, college,

and their careers. Of the many outstanding pupils I have taught, two especially come to mind.

The first student was a handsome young lad who initially had great difficulty sounding out

words merely for lack of tempo. He soon caught on -- found his own rhythm and beat -- shouted

out loudly in class with astonishment when he realized he could read exciting his classmates when

they heard him say: “This is like magic!” Walla – The name, Magic Sounds, was born!

The second student was a beautiful young lassie who grasped quickly how to sound out

words with great skill and fluency. She presented me with her keepsake, a golden key trinket that

dangled from a frayed blue ribbon, and told me that she didn’t need it anymore and that I could

keep it or give it to someone else, because she knows how to read, now! Abracadabra – The

Magic Sounds’ logo was created.... a Gold Key!

Kudos

I am especially thankful to Dr. Russell A. Jackson, my oldest brother, for his confidence in Magic

Sounds and for his never-ending willingness to proof read and offer enhancements and

improvements to Magic Sounds.

Magic Sounds Program.

How To Use The Script?

Reading As Easy As, A, B, C:

A... Have the student listen and read interacting with the script as it is read.

B... Have the student practice reading the assignment from the STUDENT BOOK, starting on page 153 (end of this book).

C... Test the student’s MASTERY of the lesson as stated below:

HOW TO TEST MASTERY?

Mastery is achieved when the student can correctly read 7 out of any 10 randomly

selected items from the STUDENT BOOK assignment. Do not proceed to the

next lesson until the student has successfully mastered the present lesson.

How To Grade Mastery?

10 items correct A (Excellent) = 100%

Lesson 5

Rhyming WordsExtra Practice

A phrase is not a whole sentence

even though it has presence.

Read the two and three word phrases

so you can receive all the praises.
