Description

Everything you need to effectively review phonics for older students who either missed out on phonics instruction entirely or are still struggling to "get it." The phonics instruction is systematic, starting with consonant sounds and progressing through long/short vowel sounds and patterns, consonant digraphs and blends, vowel digraphs, R-controlled vowels, silent consonants and diphthongs. Included are reproducible reading selections on topics that will interest older readers as well as reproducible high frequency word lists. Since all pretests and reviews are in standardized test format, skill acquisition results in test preparation at the same time. Answers in back. ~ Janice
