I have never really got phonics. When my students have to sort
words into categories based on their phonics rules I always have to a
colleague tell me the answer. I obviously did not learn to read this
way...and I have two college degrees.

I am required to use the HM reading series. At grade level 4 what they
call phonics is not what I consider phonics. For instance ...base
words, suffixes, contractions, word roots, and homophones. In my mind
this is not phonics, I would call this word work.

Rosie, you are right, it's not phonics . I have to use HM, too. Those pieces
of language that we mostly focus on: roots, endings, prefixes, suffixes,
compound words, etc. in 3rd, 4th , 5th are officially called structural
analysis and aren't technically phonics, but go hand in hand with phonics
I have taught kindergarten for the past two years and I would have to
say reading aloud to them while they sit on on the carpet is one of
their favorite parts of the whole day. Even if you don't teach primary
its great to pick a chapter book and read it to your class when you
have some time
Another hmm, how do children learn to read in countries where there is
no system based on phonics. For instance, Japan or China? Is there a
corresponding sound to each symbol? Or is it more just sight
recognition of each symbol? Do the symbols mean different things in
different contexts?
Deb,
Our whole building was bought the book by our principal. Teachers have enjoyed
it very much. Nancy came to our school, that was great too. It is based on the
CMT (CT mastery test) strand questions, which would help you if you teach in
CT. As a coach, I think it offers good ideas to
I can't believe HM calls this phonics! Paul McKee must be spinning in his

Yes I agree that aren't phonics. I must have a phonics objective
listed for each week in language arts, and this is what I will be
using.

I feel your pain. We will be required to use the LBD reading series in grades
K-5 starting this year. It is lacking in so many areas. Luckily, we've been

I teach outside of New Haven, inside the range of districts devoted to Nancy

teaches, so I had to buy many of her books. My opinion is that her books are
