Saxon Phonics offers proven results in these lessons and teacher books for special needs children.
The consumable Saxon Phonics Intervention Student Workbook serves as both a reference book and a practice book. It contains everything the student will need throughout the year, including worksheets, assessments, speed drills, word lists, and reference materials. The student keeps his or her workbook at the completion of the program for continued reference and review.
Though developed by Lorna Simmons, author of our successful Phonics K through 2nd programs, Phonics Intervention is not an extension of that program. Instead, it was written specifically for older, struggling students who have difficulty reading and spelling. This supplemental program is designed to ensure that no student is left behind.
The program begins with a quick review of consonants and then moves to vowels, decoding, spelling, and reading comprehension. Students are taught explicit, predictable strategies for decoding and spelling words. Worksheets, speed drills, and vocabulary tests provide continual reinforcement of concepts learned as well as a daily opportunity to read connected text. All student reading materials contain fully controlled, decodable text to ensure student success. A built-in vocabulary component helps increase vocabulary while reinforcing phonics and spelling rules. Progressively difficult alphabetizing activities teach dictionary skills. Cumulative assessments occur at regular intervals, and specific remediation activities are provided for students who have difficulty. Worksheets include twenty-five fact-based paragraphs that teach students about U.S. Hisory, so students learn valuable information and don't feel as if thy're in a remedial reading class. |
