Phonics Pathways 9th edition................................... (288 pages) $29.95..........

This beloved classic just keeps getting better and better! Phonics Pathways begins with short-vowel sounds, slowly progressing to whole words, phrases, and sentences of gradually increasing complexity. Special teaching tips, extensive examples, and 100% decodable practice readings reinforce each lesson. Contains all spelling rules with a spelling index, spelling charts, spelling short-cuts, diacritical markings, and a wealth of inspirational proverbs. The 9th edition of Phonics Pathways has exactly the same great content as before, but also features many new enhancements including a wealth of reproducible games, a step-by-step spelling guide, teacher/student record sheets, a Dewey-the-Bookworm Bookmark and a new carefully-researched appendix detailing how Phonics Pathways aligns with most State Standards.

Reading Pathways, 5th ed......................................(144 pages) $24.95..........
Reading Pathways offers a unique, highly effective approach to teaching reading, phonics, and vocabulary. The book consists of reading pyramids that start with one word and gradually build into short phrases and then complete sentences of increasing complexity. Also featured are mini-pyramid exercises where two words build by syllables into multi-syllable words, and are then used in a sentence. The exercises in this book help beginning readers increase eye span, strengthen eye tracking, build vocabulary, and develop ease and fluency in reading. Progressively building up the amount of text per line removes the fear and mystique of multi-syllable words, and helps students build the strong vocabulary so critical for success in reading and writing.

The Train Game now has 80 individual “train car” cards which have all the letters and sounds of the English language printed on both sides of every card, one letter or sound per card.

It contains all short vowels, long vowels, consonants, consonant digraphs, -ng, -nk endings, vowel digraphs, diphthongs, and r-controlled vowels. Left-to-right eye-tracking skills are also developed and strengthened with intensive blending exercises which prevent or correct letter or word reversals. Developing smooth blending skills is critical to ensure reading fluency. These little illustrated “sound byte” train cars will jump-start reading for everyone! This powerful teaching tool is especially effective with beginners, ELL, or dyslexic students. Still only $12.95!
