There are many other products to be found in bookstores and educational materials catalogs. You can search bookstores' websites pretty easily and you'll find a hosts of books and resources. Many of them have return options so you can examine them (but be sure to ask!). Remember two things: if it sounds too good to be true.... it probably is, and a program is *only* as good as the teacher and the teaching circumstances.

Teaching Children to Read
Download the full report
The National Reading Panel concluded that the following components are necessary to teach children to read:
  • Phonemic awareness and phonics instruction
    Reading fluency
    Reading comprehension
Phonemic awareness is knowledge about phonemes, the smallest units making up spoken language. English consists of about 41 phonemes. Phonemes combine to form syllables and words. A few words have only one phoneme, such as a (a) or oh (o). Most words consist of a blend of phonemes, such as go (g-o) with two phonemes, check (ch-e-ck) with three phonemes, or stop with four phonemes (s-t-o-p). Phonemic awareness refers to the ability to focus on and manipulate these phonemes in spoken words. The Panel concluded that: Scientific evidence shows that teaching children to manipulate the sounds in language (phonemes) helps them learn to read. This remains true under a variety of teaching conditions and with a variety of learners across a range of grade and age levels. The NRP concluded that teaching phonemic awareness to children significantly improves their reading when compared to instruction without any attention to phonemic awareness. Specifically, the results of experimental studies led the Panel to conclude that phonemics awareness training led to improvement in students' phonemic awareness, reading, and spelling.

Today's teachers are asking - What is a balanced literacy program and where is the phonics instruction? Many of us are confused with trying to integrate holistic reading/writing and phonics. Nancy's workshop shows how effective phonics instruction fits with authentic literature to create a balanced literacy program! She starts with the research that shows where we've been and where we are going and gives you the tools to help you get there. Using the Cunningham Model, Nancy presents exciting activities and meaningful phonic lessons that fit any basal/literacy program. The workshop is hands-on and filled with activities that will help your students develop and improve their spelling and decoding skills. These activities range from singing nursery rhymes to chanting rap and are multilevel to help all students learn. Nancy reviews current literature and shares easy ways to

11. Phonemics Awareness NJLAL Standard: 3.1.1
Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear sounds that make up words, see relationships between sounds, and manipulate component sounds to create new words. Children need to be able to hear sounds, know their positions, and understand the role they play within the word. For example, say, the sound of the letter /s/. Now, say the word sea and so . Even though both words begin with the same letter, the /s/ changes in anticipation of the vowel that follows.
Phonemic Awareness is not innate; it must be acquired in a sequential manner. It begins with the awareness of the spoken word, then to syllables, followed by onsets (all the sounds in a word that come before the first vowel) and rimes (all sounds that follow), and finally to the individual sounds within the word. For example in the word print, the onset is pr-and the rime is-int.

28. PHONICS IN EARLY LITERACY
phonics has been referred to as a method of teaching reading. confusion has been compoundedby the use of other terminology such as phonetics and phonemics.
http://www2.deakin.edu.au/faculty/education/soc_&_cult/publications/phonics.htm
PHONICS IN EARLY LITERACY
Why do we want to write about phonics? Writers for the press also publish articles bemoaning the fact that reading standards have declined, despite much evidence to the contrary. (The Literacy Challenge, 1994). But presuming there is a decline in standards, they go on to say that the cause is a lack of phonic knowledge. The next illogical step in their thinking is that whole language teachers do not believe in teaching phonic knowledge and they are therefore blamed for the decline in standards. These are all signs of misunderstanding about the nature of literacy learning and about the practices of whole language teachers. We hope that this paper will help to counteract some of the misunderstandings. We have written this paper to begin a dialogue with you. We invite you to send your questions about phonics teaching to the editors of Practically Primary . We will reply in future editions of Practically Primary and will provide "classroom snapshots" and ideas for helping children learn graphophonic connections. In this first paper, we clarify terminology, explain why phonics is both complex and necessary, and consider what children need to learn about phonics. As whole language educators we believe that phonics is an important part of every literacy program. However, our whole language philosophy provides clear guidelines for practice.
Whole language teachers do teach phonics.

Proper Use of the Term, Phonics
by Dr. Patrick Groff
Dr. Patrick Groff, Professor of Education Emeritus San Diego State University, has published over 325 books, monographs, and journal articles and is a nationally known expert in the field of reading instruction. The term, phonics, often is used improperly in an isolated manner. For example, it frequently is said that children need to learn phonics, that phonics is the best method for developing word recognition skills, or that phonics is the most important skill for decoding words. Quite obviously, phonics means different things in these statements. As a result, confusion arises about what phonics precisely means. The opponents of direct and systematic phonics teaching also pounce upon such statements, offering them as proof that those who advocate this instruction actually are so confused about the meaning of the word, phonics that their advice about it should not be trusted. The origins of the term, phonics, provide some help in understanding what it truly means. It is apparent that the term is related to phonetics, phonemics, or phonology. But it represents something more than information about speech sounds. The word, phonics, was invented to represent the manner in which we use letters to represent speech sounds. After the alphabet was invented, a need occurred for a word that referred to the relationships between how we speak words and how we spell them. Phonics satisfied that requirement. To prevent unwarranted negative criticism of those who approve of direct and systematic phonics teaching it therefore is vital that the term, phonics, not be used alone. It is best, then, to say children need to use phonics information or phonics knowledge, that phonics teaching or instruction of phonics information is a preferred practice, and that students' learning how to apply phonics knowledge or phonics rules is necessary if they are to learn to recognize written words most accurately and quickly.

http://www.hemweb.com/library/ESEA_Reading/body_pages/reading_first_copy.html
The Reading First Program The Reading First program, the academic cornerstone of the No Child Left Behind Act , provides the necessary assistance and funding for states and districts to establish research-based reading programs for students in kindergarten through third grade. Reading First funds also are focused on providing significantly increased teacher professional development to ensure that all teachers, including special education teachers, have the skills they need to diagnose reading problems and effectively teach. In addition, Reading First provides assistance to states and districts in preparing classroom teachers to effectively utilize assessment to screen students, and identify and overcome any reading barriers facing them. Reading First also provides assistance for the selection and administration of screening, diagnostic, and classroom-based instructional reading assessments with proven validity and reliability, in order to measure where students are and to monitor the progress that they make. These materials need to identify at-risk readers and target their individual needs so that every child can read by the end of grade 3. Harcourt Educational Measurement offers many professionally developed, reliable, and valid assessments focused on identifying reading difficulties and providing in-depth information for instructional plans.

Understanding Learning Differences
Success in Reading A Seven-Trait Approach by Jeanne Anderson My stomach sank as I scanned the grade-level postings for the next school year: I had been assigned to teach 1st grade. My first full-time teaching position had been in 1st grade. It was a tough year. I was inexperienced, had no background in teaching primary-aged children, and had been given no curriculum or support. One of my biggest challenges was in teaching reading. All I can say is that many of the children learned to read despite me. And now I was again responsible for laying the foundation for another generation of readers. This time, however, I had more experience (I had been teaching 6th grade for 9 years), and I was determined to offer students a better reading program. So I began an action research project to answer this question: What are the characteristics of a quality literacy program for 1st grade?
Historically Popular Approaches
The best way to teach children how to read has been debated for decades. Historically, there have been four main approaches, each with strengths and weaknesses: phonics, basal, literature, and language experience/writing.

Playing With Sounds
Successful reading and spelling begin with phonemic awareness
By Wiley Blevins Young children who have difficulty learning to read and spell may be hampered by poor phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the understanding that words are made of discrete sounds (not the same as phonics, which involves the relationship between sounds and written symbols.) If youngsters cannot distinguish individual sounds, or phonemes, within words, they will have difficulty as they learn to read and write.
Giving pre-readers in kindergarten and first grade a solid foundation in phonemic awareness is crucial to ensuring their later success in phonics-based reading and spelling instruction. Fortunately, it's easy and fun to integrate phonemics into your classroom routine. The following are aimed at teaching two basic phonemic awareness tasks: oral blending and oral segmentation. In each one, begin by breaking down words according to onset (the part of the syllable that comes before the vowel; for instance, the sound /k/ in cat ) and rime (the vowel and any consonants that follow it in a syllable; e.g., at in
