5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for special education reading teachers, August 4, 1999
By A Customer
I teach reading in special education learning disabilities class and I found this book to be the most comprehensive and teacher-friendly phonics resource available. It covers all the really important information a teacher needs to know in order to teach phonics. I found it an invaluable tool for quickly finding word lists, sound explanations, lesson plans for teaching phonics, sound-letter expectancies, the latest research available on teaching phonics, phonemic awareness activities, phonemic awareness assessment... the list goes on and on... I would recommend this book to any reading teacher. Thanks Wiley for creating such a great teaching tool!

5.0 out of 5 stars No other phonics book will ever be needed!, October 29, 2001
By Rebecca C. Anderson (Indianapolis, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
I did extensive research on phonics and took out numerous ones from the library to find the one I thought would be best for my simple, friendly teaching style. I was hoping to find 1 to meet the needs of an emergent reader and be able to carry us through to middle school. This one will do it for you! Awesome curriculum supplement to non-homeschooled kids!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Teaching Resource, January 1, 2005
By Zelda (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This book is one of my most treasured resources - so much so that I keep one handy in my first grade classroom and another at home. If you are looking for a practical and highly informative book on teaching phonemic awareness and phonics - this is one of the very best. The author knows the subject well. He gets right to the point and organizes the information in a very useful format. To name just a bit of what this book contains: clear phonemic awareness scope and sequence, word family lists, essential teaching strategies, effective lesson formats, game ideas, pronunciation guides, phonetic word lists, definitions, assessment tools, etc. I give this book to friends, student teachers, new teachers, and also recommended it as a "must-have" in staff development courses I've taught.
