Home School Helps — $50.00
Reading the words from left-to-right can be a difficult task for struggling readers. Often, the words appear to move around, or the space between words is unclear. It helps to use a finger or a card underneath the words to help your eyes "track" and focus on each word and letter you are sounding out. This will train your eyes to focus on the word you are reading instead of skipping around, looking for other clues to simply guess at the word. Those who struggle with reading often have many amazing...

The Most Effective Way to Teach Reading — $50.00
"The panel determined that effective reading instruction includes teaching children to break apart and manipulate the sounds in words (phonemic awareness), teaching them that these sounds are represented by letters of the alphabet which can then be blended together to form words (phonics), having them practice what they've learned by reading aloud with guidance and feedback (guided oral reading), and applying reading comprehension...

Orton-Gillingham, Correlation — $50.00
The current findings and recommendations reported in the National Reading Panel Report (NRPR, 2000) clearly confirm and endorse the significance of offering classroom instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

Using Phonemic Awareness with ESL Students — $50.00
Spoken language is noise which the experienced listener sorts into meaningful chunks. A child spends many years perfecting this sorting. In a similar way, a learner of a new language must sort out the unfamiliar sounds into pieces that make sense: phrases or sentences, words, syllables and even phonemes (the smallest sound segments). Reading experts have known for years that difficulty with the sorting process, or phonological skills, is directly connected to the reading and spelling problems of...

10 Tips for Choosing Books for Children of All Ages — $50.00
Have children choose their own books as soon as they start showing a preference for one over another. Find the children's section of your local library.

Ask friends, family, and teachers what books their children have enjoyed; try a book swap. If your child does not like a book you are reading together, put it away. Reading is a fun...

The Rise and Fall of 'Whole Language' and the Return to Phonics — $50.00
First, educators historically have been notorious for their inability to resist the lures of educational innovations, regardless of whether or not they have been empirically validated. If a pedagogical novelty dubs itself 'progressive' in nature, educators tend to adopt it. Second, WL relieves educators of much direct personal accountability for the results of their pedagogical performances. For example, in the ideal WL classroom there are no grade level standards set for student achievement. Independent...

Dyslexia Assessment — $50.00
We are also looking for the discrepancy between their nonsense word score and their real word score; they will most likely score higher on the real words than on the nonsense words, particularly if they have a phonetic weakness. This is because those with processing disorders such as dyslexia compensate by memorizing words as a whole so, if the word has meaning or a visual attached to it, they are more likely to have it in their short-term memory...

Empowering Readers by Helping Them to Apply Decoding and Comprehension Skills — $50.00
Once we have familiarized ourselves with the text, we can then read with a vested interest in what the material is about, with a clear focus on our purpose for reading. If we set up the goal to understand, and we deal with unfamiliar words before we read, we will be better able to comprehend and read fluently. With our decoding issues out of the way as we read, we can really engage with the text, focus on the content, make connections, ask questions...

Different Brain Patterns Seen in Those With Dyslexia — $50.00
Shaywitz said the poorly performing brain centers are ones that are crucial to what is called phonological processing, that is, the ability to discern the relationship between letters and letter groups and the spoken sounds they represent. People with dyslexia can learn these relationships with intense phonics training, but they have trouble doing it naturally.

Not only what is taught is important but how it is taught. Effective reading programs are taught not only systematically, but explicitly as well. Students are not left to their own devices.

Phonics instructs a student to try to analyze the word and to sound it out, while whole language emphasizes guessing...

The Orton-Gillingham Approach — $50.00
The Orton-Gillingham teacher introduces the elements of the language systematically. Students begin by reading and writing sounds in isolation. Then they blend the sounds into syllables and words.

They then proceed to advanced structural elements such as syllable types, roots, and affixes. As students learn new material, they continue...
