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:
*Research from The Annie E. Casey Foundation
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.
First Level: Includes 30 teacher-directed phonics lessons that focus on short vowels, consonants, consonant blends, and digraphs
Second Level: Includes 32 teacher-directed phonics lessons that focus on vowel combinations, r-controlled vowel sounds, common endings, and CVCe words
Third Level: Includes 36 teacher-directed phonics lessons that expand concepts with vowel/letter combinations, common prefixes and suffixes, minor consonant sounds for c and g, and minor vowel sound combinations
The Teacher Guide ensures educators have the support they need to implement phonics intervention for older students by providing scripted lessons that outline what to do and say, placement tests that identify where to start, and timed readings to monitor progress.
