Product Reviews:
  Excellent resource for adult learners 
This book is exceptionally well-organized and comprehensive.

I am a volunteer tutor for GED students. Their needs and backgrounds vary greatly. Many students do not read well. They typically have gaps in their knowledge of phonics decoding. Many have not learned to pronounce words correctly.

There are a few resources for adult learners. They cover phonics but are targeted for those who have never read. This book has a much better set of words lists for each sound. I have also used the word lists for ESL students who are working on phonemic awareness.

The syllabication rules are helpful. These rules are usually not discussed in other books. The ESL students benefit from these, too.

The author's list of other resources (ex. The Wilson Reading System) has also been very helpful for me.

  Phonics Resource for All Teachers ( gijane1 )
This book provides a resource for teachers of phonics or struggling readers. The presentation is user friendly so busy teachers will want to use it. This has excellent information on phonemic instruction. It has great resources like lists of prefixes, words, roots etc. This book is a tremendous time saver.
  Teaching Phonics and Word Study in the Intermediate Grades ( ksphillips18 )
This book is an excellent resource for teachers who teach reading to all readers, but especially those who are struggling to understand "the code."
Word lists are very helpful, as are the activities and teaching strategies presented. Only wish there was an index!
  Very sophisticated & thorough Phonics for the educator. Very Recommended ( yaxisxsquared )
Teaching Phonics And Word Study In The Intermediate Grades by WILLY BLEVINS

Author Willy Blevins has created a very sophisticated introduction to Phonics, but this books is also a WORD STUDY TEXT, emphasizing:

p. 51 Most Frequently Used Words in English Language.
p. The Dolch Word list (250 words)
as well as words classified according to suffix, prefix and word types, and Greek and Latin word Roots.

The Phonics instruction is in the first 50 pages and it is very complete. The entire book is designed with large pages and there are a number of exercises in the book that can be cut out or photocopied.

The book is directed at the elementary school student between the Third Grade and Eighth Grade. I got my copy to use in tutoring a single adult male from Mongolia.

I looked at nearly 20 books on this subject in the store, and bought several. This is the best of all the books I found. It is a complete course within itself.
