A plain-English guide to teaching phonics. Every parent can teach reading—no experts need apply! Too many parents watch their children struggle with early reading skills—and don't know how to help. Phonics programs are too often complicated, overpriced, gimmicky, and filled with obscure educationalese. The Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading cuts through the confusion, giving parents a simple, direct, scripted guide to teaching reading—from short vowels through supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. This one book supplies parents with all the tools they need. Over the years of her teaching career, Jessie Wise has seen good reading instruction fall prey to trendy philosophies and political infighting. Now she has teamed with dynamic coauthor Sara Buffington to supply parents with a clear, direct phonics program—a program that gives them the know-how and confidence to take matters into their own hands.

How to Teach Spelling is a comprehensive resource manual, and corresponding workbooks provide a structured and graded method to plan spelling lessons. The manual contains the material to be used at all grade levels. At the beginning of each lesson, the manual explains which words to cover for the grade level you are working with. The workbooks teach spelling rules and generalizations, provide space for copying words, and indicate when students should write words, phrases, and/or sentences from dictation. The workbooks help students understand and practice the material. How to Teach Spelling is an excellent program for teachers who want their students to learn to recognize the sounds in the English language, to decode words, and to spell words correctly by relying on spelling rules and patterns rather than on memory. Please note this is only the manual.

Your child will master the sight words and build a meaningful foundation for literacy. Includes both manuscript and cursive. This workbook is designed to be simple for children with dyslexic tendencies. By using the Open Dyslexic Font and using Sight Word Strategies we are able to overcome some of the obstacles caused by curriculum that depend on phonics. Children with dyslexia are confused by the words that do not follow the phonetic rules. As you know the English language often deviates from it's own rules leaving dyslexic children feeling overwhelmed and befuddled. The goal of this method is to help children memorize the verses, learn hundreds of sight words, and develop intuitive decoding strategies. If your child is not confused by phonics we recommend using a fun phonics program after completing this workbook.
