Actually, the name of Helen Zeitzoff’s book is Phonics Rules, but either way, most teachers and parents are understanding that without phonics, learning to read is a struggle.

She also enjoys traveling and the theatre and of course– reading!
Helen has two wonderful books which have been recently published. Phonics Rules and No-Glamour Reading: Sight Words. Phonics Rules is a collection of valuable resources for phonetic instruction. Phonics is a key component in learning to read. Young readers learn to apply sounds for individual letters or combinations of letters and to blend the sounds together to read a word. To accomplish this, there is a need to know specific rules about the sounds for letters and letter combinations. Phonics Rules is a complete, concise guide to those principles of phonics.
No-Glamour Reading, Sight Words—Help your young students build quick recognition of sight words with this new resource. The Dolch Word List is introduced at pre-primer level through grade 3 level. Skill builds upon skill as students master reading sight words through fun activities including: using flash cards, completing word shapes, reading rebus sentences, identifying sight words within sentences choosing correct words from a word box, and completing sentences. |
