This kit includes the same components as the C500 packet, with two exceptions:

C850 - Little Books

The computer reading software refers to the Little Books for additional practice. The Little Books contain vocabulary-controlled stories and are designed to sequentially follow the phonics skills and Most Common Words taught in each section of the Discover Intensive Phonics for Yourself program. The Little Books are cleverly illustrated and provide an excellent opportunity for students to use and practice the phonics, grammar, and reading skills they have learned in each of the lessons. The set is color-coordinated with the section skills in the Teacher’s Manual. This supplement is a must for all elementary customers (5.5 x 8.5 inches).

One set included with purchase of C500, C550, and C560.
