Summary: Phonics the Phun Way!
Review: I am a first gade teacher who is always looking for new approaches to teaching, especially topics that can be dry--sorry folks--like phonics. This book, "More Phonics Through Poetry," like the first book, "Phonics Through Poetry" affords me some great materials for shared reading which stress specific sounds (and also endings, contractions, and prefixes and suffixes) by repeating them in delightful poetry. The sounds in this book are more difficult than in the first and include consonant digraphs, blends, diphthongs, etc. While some of the poems were obviously written for this purpose, most of them can be applied to a theme as well as to a targeted sound. In addition to the two to three poems per sound, there are other ideas for uses for the poems, blackline masters for use with them, and the cross-references to help you use the poems with themes. This book will definitely help you "work smarter, not harder."
