Phonics Pathways
9th edition

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 by Dolores G. Hiskes
5th edition

New! 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.............................$12.95.......................................
Smooth eye-tracking skills developed and strengthened with kinesthetic games providing intensive left-to-right blending and syllabication practice. Prevents or corrects reversals, similar in effect to exercises frequently prescribed by specialists to treat dyslexia.

A set of 64 "train car" cards contain all letters and consonant digraphs, one per car. Letters on both sides, with a picture beginning with the letter sound superimposed on one side. Teaches the letter sounds in an easy and enjoyable fashion - learn with the letter-picture side, flip to the letter-only when ready. Blank cars included for ongoing syllabication practice. Excellent manipulative for all beginning and remedial readers - especially kinesthetic, ESL, ADD, or dyslexic students. View sample cards from The Train Game

 Blendit............................$35.00 set..................................
This set of eleven board games reinforces knowledge of specific beginning spelling patterns. Cards are drawn, read, and placed over matching square on board. Whoever fills in a line first is the winner. This game also can be played until everyone wins - less competitive, and extra practice as well. Great instructional fun-filled activity for the whole family. Everyone loves this user-friendly game -- beginners have just as much chance of winning as Mom or Dad does! View Blendit! Board Game

 

...........................$35.00 set..................................
An extravaganza of educational games! Ten sets of cards review and reinforce phonics reading skills at gradually increasing skill levels. Each set can be played using five different games -- your choice: Bag the Bugs, FindIt (similar to Memory), WordBird (similar to Old Maid), Go Hunt (similar to Fish), and I Spy. And that's not all! There is a secret gift enclosed for you to enjoy as well. Something for everyone! These cards follow the same sequence of lessons as those presented in Phonics Pathways but can be used very successfully with any other reading method as well. There are 18 double sets of cards (or 36 cards in all) for each game, and detailed instructions are included with each of the five games. Excellent practice in an extraordinary, fun-filled format!
