The Yak Pack- A NEW and more effective way to teach phonics!
The Yak Pack Early Reading System was developed based on a large body of research conducted by The National Reading Panel (NRP) in 2000. Rumack Resources combined the NRP’s discoveries with innovative comic book graphics, a strategic scope and sequence, and an emphasis on mastery to create a unique opportunity for young readers.
With over 25 years of early literacy teaching experience, our seasoned educators have created The Yak Pack to be the ultimate no-tears, early reading program. Ruth Rumack’s Learning Space, an academic support center in Toronto, along with schools across the United States and Canada, employ The Yak Pack as an important tool to teach new reading skills.
For kids, the Yak Pack is a hilarious comic that appeals to all ages. For teachers and parents, The Yak Pack Comics & Phonics is a complete reading system where all the prep, teaching, and practice activities are ready to go. Each book includes highly effective, truly decodable and vocabulary-controlled comic stories that progressively launch young people into a lifetime of confident and independent reading.
The Yak Pack Early Reading Series includes 4 phonics comic books, 5 sight word comic books, 2 student workbooks, hundreds of SmartBoard slides, and countless teaching resources.
