1.\u00a0Reading Made Easy with Blend Phonics for First Grade: Plus Blend Phonics Fluency Drills.<\/a>\u00a0This is the original program for those who prefer to purchase an inexpensive paperback instead of running off the pages for the free program. It is the same as the original with the addition of powerful “Fluency Drills” for improving decoding fluency (accuracy and speed) and reading ability. Teacher Training Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Blend Phonics Lessons and Stories<\/a>\"\". This is the culmination of 10 years experience teaching Blend Phonics<\/em>. The book combines Mrs. Hazel Logan Loring’s 1980\u00a0Reading Made\u00a0Easy with\u00a0<\/em>Blend Phonics<\/em> lessons with 62\u00a0decodable stories that Mrs. Elizabeth Brown wrote in 2010 to add interest to the phonics lessons. I wrote four comprehensions questions for each story based on Dr. George Gonz\u00e1lez’ Eight\u00a0Comprehension Power Strategies<\/a>. The program even includes spelling words for each lesson. There are a total of 636\u00a0spelling words in the book. A special feature<\/strong> of the program is the inclusion of all 220 Dolch List Sight Words. Teacher Training Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Blend Phonics Lessons and Stories: Cursive Edition<\/a>. This is a special edition of Blend Phonics Lessons and Stories<\/em> for developing students’ ability to read cursive fluently. I use this with students as young as kindergarten. All the lessons, stories, and spelling words are in cursive.<\/p>\n

4. Blend Phonics Timed Fluency Drills<\/a>. This book by Mr. Potter is nothing short of revolutionary. It impliments a form of High Speed Phonics that enables students to dramatically increase their word identification accuracy and speed (fluency) through daily timed drills focusing on specific phonics (orthographic) patterns in a developmental sequence. It is based on the principles of Precison Teaching<\/a>. It gives precise, fine-grained information on students progress. Good for all students, of inestimable value for dyslexics. \u00a0Teacher Training Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Beyond Blend Phonics<\/a>. Mr.Potter published\u00a0Beyond Blend Phonics<\/em>\u00a0in March of 2015 as a follow-up to Reading Made Easy with Blend Phonics for First Grade<\/em>. It teaches the three main levels of English: Anglo-Saxon<\/strong> prefixes and suffixes, Romance<\/strong> (Latin and French) prefixes, roots, and suffixes, and Greek<\/strong> combining forms. The book teaches students to identify 731 advanced English words. It uses a unique method of illustrating the meanings of advanced words by means of easily understood pairs of sentences. \u00a0It will increase students’ reading levels in a natural, easy, and enjoyable manner. It also teaches homonyms. Student Review: Ally & Mr. Potter<\/a>. Teacher Training Video for Beyond Blend Phonics<\/a>. Here are my PowerPoint Slides for Beyond Blend Phonics<\/a>. The book was inspired by my experience reading Dr. Marcia K. Henry’s article, “Organizing Decoding Instruction” and teaching her WORDS<\/a> program.\u00a0<\/p>\n
