Phonics Strategies for Older Students by Phonics Advantage™

Phonics Strategies for Older Students by Phonics Advantage is a 457-page digital download created for Middle School students (and above) who are significantly behind their reading grade level. Phonics Strategies for Older Students is a progressive program designed to allow phonics and spelling concepts to be 1) absorbed more quickly, 2) with less effort, and 3) presented in a format that facilitates the successful transfer of this knowledge to unknown words in the student’s educational and recreational reading.

Each page of the Phonics Strategies program comes with clear goals and directions enabling Phonics Strategies to be successfully administrated by teachers, tutors, mentors and parents. Activities in Phonics Strategies are short, presented in bundles to 1) allow multiple phonics and spelling concepts to be reviewed at each session, 2) enable the use of multiple styles / diversification (reducing boredom), and 3) maintain high levels of focus and concentration.

Please review the attached 14-page PDF preview. You’ll find the best part of Phonics Strategies for Older Students is what you “don’t get”. The look is grown up. There are no “fillers” and “busy work”. Your students will progress through activities that are constantly becoming more challenging encompassing sufficient review and reinforcement to create long-term memories.

Phonics Strategies for Older Students 2nd Edition is designed so that mentors can begin on page one and work through the program in page order. The program is collated so that there is diversity in reading/analyzing, writing and hands-on activities. For mentors who administer the included pretest and wish to address specific weaknesses, an index of topics enables you to quickly locate supporting documents. Because “guessing” has become habitual and automatic for so many older students, the program includes 76 pages of decoding nonsense words.
