If you have older, struggling students who are reading and spelling below their grade level, perhaps it's time for Phonics Intervention. This systematic program will put them on the road to reading success! Lorna Simmons, a former classroom and special education teacher, created the program when her oldest son was still having difficulty reading upon finishing second grade.

In keeping with the Saxon philosophy, this curriculum builds on prior learning, and presents information in small, carefully sequenced increments. Covering consonants, vowels, and reading comprehension, the program offers explicit, systematic strategies for decoding and spelling words. Consumable work sheets, speed drills, and vocabulary tests reinforce learning and provide daily reading opportunities. Students also learn dictionary skills through progressively difficult alphabetizing activities.

The teacher's manual includes all lessons, assessments, speed drills, word lists, and reduced versions of student materials. Kit includes a teacher's manual, student workbook, and classroom materials. Grades 4 and up.

The system is a very thorough lesson plan that starts out with the most basic concepts and moves slowly and carefully from there. I expect it to be helpful in showing me just where my son goes off-track in spelling and reading. Only one complaint: a video tape to get started and a cassette tape for pronunciation help are included---old technology to say the least!

This is a wonderful program. I used it for my 5th grader who was still having a hard time spelling and doing writing exercises. He could read well enough but really lacked phonic skills. He can finally spell!! This product is worth every penny I spent. It starts with every simple sound and moves to the most difficult. Students learn to "code" words and see a pattern. It also enhances vocabulary. It contains lots of flashcards that you can take anywhere or create games with them. This was the BEST program I have ever used! Very easy to follow and my son loved it.
