If you are looking for a complete, effective phonics program, Phonics Pathways is just the ticket. With a simple layout and steady progress, this no-frills, straightforward approach to phonics tutoring is easy enough for even novice parents/teachers to understand and use. Phonics Pathways is logically laid out with virtually no teacher preparation involved. A multi-sensory approach means that all learning types can benefit from this book. With a mere 10 to 15 minutes a day, usually one or two pages, your child will be reading before you know it. Built-in reviews to aid retention include sentences that can be sounded out based entirely on the lessons previously taught, which eliminates guessing. Phonics Pathways includes the phonics rules that other phonics-based programs do not. It also contains spelling rules in the lessons as well as quick-reference spelling and pronunciation charts. (It also has inane maxims on many pages that can be used as discussion starters or completely ignored.) This book is essential for all pre-readers and their parents.
