Illustrated Book of Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns 3rd Edition
Part of the Child1st series of child-friendly language arts materials specifically designed for right-brain learners. However, this little manual (possibly along with the Sound Spelling Teaching Cards) could be incorporated into any language arts program. The 128 page manual provides much more than you might expect. The Teaching Notes for 128 lessons takes the student through 55 Units that cover 193 distinct sound spelling patterns as well as past tense spellings, plural spellings, homophones, double consonants, and 32 suffixes. The basic idea is to read and spell all the sounds that are the basic building blocks of all words. Lessons are designed to be self-paced and are easily adapted for differentiated instruction. A sound is presented weekly, reviewed for 10-15 minutes on each of the next 3 days, then an assessment on the 5th day. One sound is taught at a time but all the ways to spell that sound are also taught at that same time. Target sounds are color-coded in each lesson. Daily practice involves a whiteboard and markers. Fingermapping (using the fingers to build a visual representation of the sounds in a word) is also part of the instruction. Although this book can be used by itself it also coordinates with the Sound Spelling Teaching Cards. 128 pgs, pb ~ Janice
Is your child a struggling reader? Is spelling hard for her? Does he have trouble sounding out larger words? You have come to the right place! The Illustrated Book of Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns will take the mystery out of words! Children who can't memorize will benefit from this approach to teaching phonics concepts, spelling, and sounds that require multiple letters. The book is entertaining, full of cartoons that help to drive the lessons home, and is funny. The book is leveled as to difficulty, starting at zero and moving clear through to the most advanced sound spellings in our language. This approach has worked to bring children up to grade level in reading very quickly.
How It Works:
A finite number of sounds make up all the words in the English language. With The Illustrated Book of Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns, students learn to read/spell those sounds that are the building blocks of all words.
This book will guide you through how to teach vowels and consonants with all their many spellings. The way the book is organized will make it easy for your students to focus in on specific sounds, where they appear in words, and how to spell them. Equipped with this knowledge, students will be able to decode larger and harder words.
The Illustrated Book of Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns replaces ineffective memorization of word spellings, phonics rules, or decoding, with kid-friendly, brain-friendly patterns and visuals. Students are engaged in listening to sounds, finding patterns, and learning through cartoons and story bytes. The Illustrated Book of Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns demystifies reading by giving students the tools they need to decode unknown, difficult words with ease.
NEW to this edition, detailed teaching notes will guide you through exactly how to teach each reproducible lesson.
