Phonics for Reading and Spelling
A simple, easy to use reading program with clear direction for the teacher. Phonics for Reading and Spelling is an Orton-Guillingham base, comprehensive, multi-sensory systematic phonics program. Beginning with the 26 alphabet phonograms, all 72 phonograms (phonemes/symbols for sounds) are systematically taught. This program incorporates handwriting and spelling as the sound/symbol connections of the phonograms are taught. Handwriting begins with the teaching of the letter sounds so that multi-sensory brain connections are made. Spelling instruction begins after the first 52 phonograms are introduced. Gradually, other language skills are added. These skills include writing complete sentences, adding affixes to words, and contractions. Reading fluency comes naturally after students have mastered the phonograms and developed the necessary Phonemic Awareness Skills to apply their phonogram knowledge in words.
