PYRAMID
by Dolores Hiskes

Progressive, highly-decodable (98%) reading exercises strengthen eye tracking, develop blending skills, increase eye span, and teach syllabication. Single letters blend into words. Words build one at a time into phrases and sentences, with each line centered under the previous one, like a pyramid. Short words build by syllables into multisyllable words in mini-pyramids, and are then used two at a time in sentences. Multisyllable words listed in back, with original word highlighted inside. Graphically demonstrates syllabication. Excellent practice for everyone - especially dyslexic, ESL, or ADD students. Develops fluent reading skills and builds vocabulary in a delightful and highly-effective format.

WRITING ROAD TO READING
by Spaulding

The most comprehensive phonics program, including writing and spelling through college level. Works well with Primary Phonics Primers. The Spalding Method is a total language arts approach that has been used by teachers and parents for nearly fifty years to teach millions of students to spell, write, and read. Now fully updated to reflect the latest research on how children learn language, this newest edition is easier to use than ever.

The Spalding Method helps train the right and left sides of the brain as children see, hear, read, and write. It is cost-effective and efficient; students use pencils, paper, and their minds. The results are stunning: Children learn to connect speech sounds to print and begin to write and read almost magically. Spalding students perform well in the classroom and on tests -- and most important, they love to read and write.

The rules used are the same ones successfully taught in Spell to Write and Teaching Reading at Home and School.
