More than just a book of word lists, the Phoneme-Based Word Dictionary aligns Word Family Instruction with the Science of Reading. You will learn the Brain Science behind reading and why Phonemes (speech sounds) are essential to reading instruction. Each word family is broken down into phonemes and includes lists of other word families with similar spellings and sounds. These lists can be used to make instructional activities such as word sorts, word chains, and word building activities. A Resources section provides templates for learning activities, games, and printable cards for word blending activities. Written by the author of the popular Orton-Gillingham Word Dictionary Series, you will be delighted to find that word family instruction can be a part of science-based reading instruction.
