Phonics

Even though it is geared towards remedial students, I have found it to be an excellent resource for beginning phonics students as well. The book is mainly a book of lists of words for different phonograms. If you are putting together your own phonics program, it is a big help as you can use the word lists from here and don't have to sit down and generate your own lists, as I have done so many times. The book is sequential in that as new phonograms are introduced, the current word list is only comprised of the one new sound and sounds that the student has already been introduced to.

If you are new to teaching phonics and perhaps don't know where to begin,

the following is an example development in phonics instruction.

1. Consonant sounds Initial and Final

2. Short vowel sounds CVC words (h - a - t)

3. Blends Onset and rime (m - an man, c - at cat)

4. Digraphs Initial and Final (ship, dish)

5. Clusters: 3 consonant sounds (split)

6. Long vowels Spelling patterns (a_e, ai, ae)

7. Tricky patterns (er, ar, oo, oi, au, ou, igh)

8. Multisyllable words blending syllables together

9. Root words prefixes, suffixes
