LanaTron Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 It's simple and gets the job done. After using PP with each of my elder two dc, who are fantastic readers, I was bored with it. I tried to use OPGtTR, because it just looked so much more fun, but my ds hated it. I pulled PP back out, and he's an excellent reader, too--although he did Explode the Code in addition to PP. I'm using these two again with my fourth (last) dc, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Webster's Speller, of course! I also like PP, Word Mastery, Blend Phonics, Pollard's Reading and Spelling series, School Phonics...anything on my phonics books page or Don's education page. He has a ton listed, there are more in his spelling book and reading programs from the past links. I would only use Alpha-Phonics across the page to prevent guessing from word families.

SnowWhite Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The first grade Pathway Readers program is what I use. I used to teach at an Amish school (four years' worth) and I used it there, so it's like falling off a log for me. It's also designed for 18 year old Amish girls with an eighth grade education to use to teach little six year old Amish children who barely speak English how to read in 6 months, so how hard can it be? I usually start when my student is 5, not 6, and go as slowly as I like. It includes everything on this page: http://rainbowresource.com/prodlist.php?sid=1310124332-1338833&subject=6&category=926 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Blue House Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'd probably use Phonics Pathways. Would PR count? I'm intrigued by this one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishboneDawn Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Dancing Bears. We've been through3 or 4 phonics programs, including 100EZ , and it wasn't until Dancing Bears the my son made real progress. Wish I'd found it a couple of years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I've used (or am using) Phonics Pathways with all of my boys. It's affordable, thorough, and easy to use :001_smile:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Phonics Pathways was what we used. I supplemented with Bob books, and other little paper readers (and made my own), ETC (the first 3 primers), and some Monti games. But it could stand on its own, I think--I just like providing lots of opportunities to use the skills in a fun way. BTW, is 100 Easy Lessons the one that uses a different font for some vowel sounds and dipthongs? I think I picked that up at one point to look at it, but it drove me nuts.

SnMomof7 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 After blending was established we just used A Beka's A Handbook for Reading along with their readers for practice. Pretty straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 We use ETC and McGuffey readers (free from Gutenburg.org) to get them started, then move onto ETC and easy readers (Dr. Seuss, Arnold Lobel, Amelia Bedelia, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Reading Reflex. It isn't phonics but it is great! :iagree: And although it isn't tradtional "phonics", it is completely phonetic, and actually uses less "sight words" (like, none) than traditional phonics programs. Love Reading Reflex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 ...anything on my phonics books page or Don's education page. :iagree: This is what I would have posted. You can teach anyone to read (for free!) with the info/links there. Wonderful resource! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
