Dr. Edward Fry's Reading and Phonics Books
Although we have listed our books on reading according to
their primary focus as related to the Reading First Initiative, the various
skills --phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary --
are best taught together. Our attempt here to separate them is to help you find
help with specific reading skills you are especially interested in. But almost
all the books overlap into one or more other areas. So do explore them all.
General Books on
Teaching Reading and Tutoring
Students Who Need Extra Help in Reading
 As Reading
Programs Come and Go, this is what you need to know
by Judith Cochran.
Incentive Publications, 2003. This book seeks to give educators a balanced
approach to reading instruction. It will help you get through the series of fads
that come and go along with new buzzwords from one year to the next. No matter
what is currently popular, there are several common practices that will always
be important in reading instruction. This book is an outstanding reference that
covers the tried and true methods of teaching reading elementary students to
read. You will learn to effectively teach word identification, vocabulary
development, comprehension, and critical thinking. You will learn the processes
that go into learning to read. You will learn how to arrange the schedule and
classroom environment to facilitate teaching reading as a class or in small
groups. You will get ideas for effective seatwork and practice activities, as
well as guidance in assessment and evaluation. This book will be of more use to
classroom teachers than home teachers. But it's a reference classroom teachers
will turn to again and again. Sample lesson plans are included. 191 pages.

 Fearless
Phonics: A Phonics Handbook with Rules and Super Word Lists! by
Linda Schwartz. The Learning Works. This book, with limited reproduction rights,
answers the questions most teachers and parents have about the rules of phonics,
such as when a c is soft or hard, when an o is long or short, or how consonant
blends work. Not only are the explanations simple, but there are also lots of
examples.
The first two sections of the book, "Conquering Consonants" and
"Vowel Victories," show how to decode most words by associating sound with
spelling. These two sections contain generalizations followed by rules and
samples.
The last two sections contain helpful lists, including basic
sight words, rhyming word families, and common prefixes, suffixes and roots with
definitions and sample words. There is also help for dividing words into
syllables and accenting syllables.
Bold graphics add eye appeal. This book is ideal for all ages,
since the graphics are based on letters, and there are no childish pictures to
hurt the self-esteem of older children and adults. BTH-626. $12.59-D

 How
to Teach Reading When you're Not a Reading Teacher, Revised Version
by Sharon H. Faber.
Incentive Publications, 2006. This revised edition draws on current
research on learning styles and methods and has 40 more pages than the earlier
edition. This book was written for middle grade teachers who
realize that some of their students can't read at all or have great difficulty
reading. Though most middle school teachers haven't been trained as reading
teachers, they do know that when they have students who can't read their
textbooks, they have a responsibility to help these students with learning
disabilities. Many teachers are already doing some of the right things by
instinct as they break down textbooks into manageable units, preview a
textbook's features, and teach content-specific vocabulary before an assignment.
This book reinforces those strategies already in use and provides new and
practical approaches for teaching students how to read. If you have children in
your class who have been left behind, this book will give you the tools you need
to help them catch up. 175 pages, including bibliography. BTH-3036. $15.26-D

 Reading Reflex: The Foolproof Phono-Graphix™ Method for Teaching Your Child to Read, by Carmen and
Geoffrey McGuinness, founders of Read America. © 1998, first printing. Hardcover
spiral notebook-type edition. This method is designed to meet the needs of two types of
students: young children who are ready to learn to read for the first time, and older
elementary children who are struggling with reading or spelling.
The Phono-Graphix™ takes what the child knows,
the sounds of his language, and teaches him the various sound pictures that
represent these sounds. It does this through developmentally appropriate lessons that do
not rely on propositional and other logic that children cannot understand, such as phonics
rules and exceptions. This method has been well researched and proven to teach reading in
one-tenth the time of phonics with a 100% success rate. It has worked with learning
disabled and children and bad readers in general.
Here is where Phono-Graphix™ departs from
phonics: Instead of teaching the sounds that letters make, it recognizes that letters
don't make sounds -- they just represent sounds. The book identifies the various subskills
needed to learn to read and then helps you teach them in a way that will help children
grasp them quickly.
Unfortunately, I can't give you all I have learned by
reading this book here. But after the reading I have done, I believe I would use this
method if I currently needed to teach a child to read. One very nice feature of using this
with remedial readers is that the pictures are black and white drawings that are relevant
to all elementary ages -- not just primary children. This is one of our bargain books, and
if you need to teach a child to read, I'd try this method first. How can you go wrong for
only $15.00-B? Supply is limited, so order soon. If it doesn't do all you
hoped for, you can still try some other method. If is does, you've saved yourself a lot of
money you could have spent on expensive programs. BTH-120. $17.99-B
