Category Description for MCP Plaid Phonics - 2011 Edition:

With the 2011 edition of Plaid Phonics, the Modern Curriculum Press (MCP) name is gone only "Pearson" is left. The phonics content, however, is unchanged (yay!). The print is slightly bolder; colors are also slightly bolder. The cover has updated graphics and although many of the internal graphics are changed they are essentially the same (i.e. a cow picture is a different one but it's still a cow). Homeschool Bundles are now available for this edition, which includes the student and teacher's edition packaged together at a discount.

Instruction moves from letter recognition in the K level, to alphabetizing, syllabication, and dictionary skills in the upper levels. Built-in review of previously learned skills within books helps student master concepts. They also contain some pages in "standardized test format," so you get a little test preparation as a bonus. There is considerable overlap between levels, allowing you to jump in anywhere in the program. At each level, there is a consumable Student Workbook and a Teacher Resource Book. Student Workbooks are in full-color and include basic instructions on each page. Units are broken down into lessons with the suggestion of completing 3-6 lessons per week. Although you can use the workbooks as stand-alone supplementation and reinforcement, the Teacher Resource Guides contain complete teaching information to use this as a phonics program. Teacher Resource Guides are spiral-bound and include: pre-tests and post-tests, lesson plans, teaching information, suggested activities, and noted cross-curriculum connections. Homeschool Bundles include both the student and teacher's edition.




Category Description for MCP Plaid Phonics:

A very solid series of phonetic and word study skills, from letter recognition in the K level, to alphabetizing, syllabication, and dictionary skills in the upper levels. Built-in review of previously learned skills within books helps students master concepts. They now also contain some pages in "standardized test format," so you get a little test preparation as a bonus. There is considerable overlap between levels, allowing you to "jump in" anywhere in the program. Levels K, A, B, and C are in motivating full-color. Levels D-F are available only in two-color editions. We are offering the 2011 edition, the 2003 edition, and the '98 edition. The 2003 edition is updated but highly similar to the 1998 edition; both feature photos instead of the black and white illustrations of previous editions. In fact, a lot of the pages are exactly the same, and about the only real difference I could find at a glance was that the tear-out book pages include only four pages, so you simply fold them in half instead of folding and cutting for eight pages. Homeschool Bundles are also available for this older edition, which include the student and teacher's edition, along with a parent guide booklet.

This book includes some phonics rules and practice with short and long vowels, blends, digraphs, contractions, and more. There is practice using words in the context of a sentence, fun activities, and pictures for continued vocabulary development. There are stories to read and to write. Written work gives, clear, manageable writing assignments for children to do with a little guidance. My students enjoy working in this book.

I have a daughter who has dyslexia. I was looking for resources to help her. This phonics books works well with Orton Gillingham principles although it isn't OG itself. It's fairly cheap and well-designed to help a dyslexic with phonemic awareness.

Does the student workbook have an answer key included?
Roxana on Jun 26, 2022
BEST ANSWER: No it does not. There is a teacher manuals which does. I also know of a place that makes their own cheaper answer keys - like Kolbe Academy bookstore.
Do the 2011 edition books come in black and white?
A shopper on Sep 14, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes, but I find that the color illustrations are better for the students especially the ELL.

Love this series
I first used this series when I taught in a private school and I was impressed. So when I started homeschooling my children I tried it with them. It is simple and colorful and very quickly children find their skills building in an effortless way. With just the right amount of work on a page, children are practicing reading, decoding, spelling and handwriting. While the rare child enjoys drill work, and phonics can have that feel, all of my children have plugged along happily in this book.

The children like working with the pictures so colorful and real.
