Phonics They Use : Words for Reading and Writing (4th Edition)

Summary: Phonics They Use, 2nd edition
Review: As I write this, this book is on back order. This is a great resource for primary teachers who would like explicit information on how to do a word wall and use many activities for using word families, etc. to teach phonics. But don't bother waiting for this book to be available again. Get the 3rd edition! It's worth the extra money. I purchased the 2nd edition several months ago, but when I examined the 3rd edition at the library, I noticed there seem to be many more activities and games for teaching phonics. The 3rd edition easily gets a 5+ star rating from me. It would be an invaluable resource, especially for new teachers! Making Words, by Cunningham and Hall is a good companion if you need help with the making words activities.

Summary: Phonics We Can All Use!!!
Review: This book is full of great activities and strategies for teaching reading. It is not like the typical phonics lessons found in workbooks and basal series. You won't even know that you are teaching phonics! Who ever thought it could be fun! The kids love it and the teachers who use it do too!
