About Teaching Phonics & Word Study In The Intermediate
Product Description Revised and updated, this companion book to the best-selling Phonics From A to Z contains everything teachers need to help struggling readers in the upper grades. In addition to ready-to-use lessons, extensive word lists, and quick assessments, this new edition offers step-by-step syllabication support, daily activities and games for combining multisyllabic word and vocabulary learning, a comprehensive phonics survey, technology resources, and more! An invaluable resource! Review "Readers of author Wiley Blevins' first book, "Phonics from A to Z for Grades K-3" will find a wealth of new material in this comprehensive work that offers step-by-step instruction to support struggling language learners in grades 3 through 8. The 3rd-grade overlap between the two books signifies the time when students transition from learning to read to reading to learn. It's a significant shift that if bungled can leave a child with serious educational and social deficits. In his first book, Blevins identified children at being high-risk for reading difficulties as: limited exposure to books, low socioeconomic families, below-average intelligence, limited development of oral language, and English as a second language. For some children, the deck is already stacked against reading success. If we add insufficient teacher readiness to the list, the negative consequences are multiplied. In fact, a 2015 study found that only 36% of fourth-graders (in the U.S.) read at or above the proficient level. Getting teachers the training and tools (like this guide and a fully stocked library) they need to turn even at-risk students into readers is vital. Educators who understand and teach phonics and word study can have a big impact on their students' reading success. Like in his first work, Blevins offers terrific explanations, context, examples, strategies, and activities. He has a way of making language feel electric and dynamic. Educators and even parents will benefit from careful and repeated reading of this work." --Melanie GilbertProvided via Amazon Vine "This is a great supplement for my struggling student. The lessons are simple to follow, includes word lists, and even quick assessments. I would recommend this book for anyone with a child that is struggling in reading. Bonus, it includes daily activities and games!" --Thee~Classy~GalProvided via Amazon Vine "I love Wiley Blevins Phonics A to Z book, and found this version for Intermediate grades to be just as valuable as a resource. It has all you need to help the Intermediate struggling reader. It has ready-to-use lessons, extensive word lists, and quick assessments. It has a section with step-by-step syllabication support that is very helpful! The daily activities and games are interesting and fun.
