Phonics for Reading

PHONICS for Reading Intervention Program

Data confirms what we have known all along: students who progress beyond Grade 3 with a deficit in decoding continue to struggle in English language arts for the remainder of their school careers.*

Take action to address this reality with PHONICS for Reading, a research-based reading intervention program designed for students in Grades 3–12. Authored by a team of researchers led by the nationally recognized Dr. Anita Archer, PHONICS for Reading provides a lifeline to learners who are struggling to read by equipping them with the tools necessary to become independent readers. Highlights of the program include:

Content and illustrations that are developmentally appropriate for teaching phonics to older students
Routine-based and explicit phonics instruction that addresses decoding skills gaps
A Teacher Guide that includes guidance and predictability, making the program simple to implement
A direct tie to i‑Ready Assessments data that enables educators to identify and tailor their phonics instruction to struggling readers

Get to Know PHONICS for Reading

Each PHONICS for Reading lesson uses a systematic sequence of explicit phonics instruction, providing a consistent routine that allows students to apply each concept in increasingly challenging situations to build accuracy, automaticity, and fluency. This approach ensures upper elementary, middle, and high school students progress quickly through phonics intervention lessons, keeping them motivated and feeling successful.
