  • Alpha Phonics And How To Tutor Little Companion Readers

    $19.95

    Paradigm Company
    BRAND NEW: Now you can buy all 10 Readers bound together into one convenient book (Won’t lose any of the books and they won’t come unstapled!) The content is IDENTICAL to the Little Companion Readers you have known and loved for 25 years. This is the Alpha-Phonics and How To Tutor Little Companion Readers Book to accompany phonics reading instruction in either Alpha-Phonics or How To Tutor by Samuel L. Blumenfeld.

    Each of the 10 Readers contained in the NEW BOOK has a short story which is ideal for little beginners. The Readers are coordinated to where the student is as he/she progresses through either Alpha-Phonics or How To Tutor. First Reader covers short A lessons, Second Reader covers short E lessons and so on throughout the first 77 lessons. Very popular with teachers and students. Many children say even with the First Reader: Oh! Mommy, I am reading my own book! Economical, durable & reusable. The Readers are in large type so as to be easy for little beginners and are short in length: 6 to 10 pages. They challenge the student without overdoing it.

    The Readers contain only the words the student has already learned up to that point. Eight have a complete short story that the beginners in particular really enjoy. The other two have lists of practice sentences. After the first 77 lessons the student, while still learning from the remaining lessons in either Alpha-Phonics or How To Tutor, is capable of working with a wide variety of outside practice reading books. The first five Readers in the Book deal with one short vowel each: a, e, i, o, and u. Book one for example deals with the first 12 lessons. Reader # 6: Short vowels with digraphs like ch, sh and wh, through lesson 35. Reader # 7 More Short vowels, through lesson 42. And so on. Reader #8 Short vowels mixed, through lesson 49. Reader # 9 Short vowels through lesson 57. Reader # 10. Short vowels through lesson 71. A BONUS is that the Readers aid in developing comprehension as you go. You just ask the student questions about what they have read in the story. What was the story about? What happened first? Last? You go from one Reader to the next as you progress through either Alpha-Phonics or How Tutor’s reading instruction section.

  • Alpha Phonics And How To Tutor Campanion Workbook (Workbook)

    $19.95

    Paradigm Company
    IDENTICAL to the old version. The difference is this NEW version is Perfect Bound (Pages glued inside the cover for extra durability -not comb-bound).

    The Alpha-Phonics and How To Tutor Phonics Companion Workbook is designed to be used with either of Samuel L. Blumenfeld’s two great phonics reading instruction textbooks: Alpha-Phonics a Primer for Beginning Readers or his How To Tutor. This Workbook provides EXTRA PRACTICE work for your student using either of Sam Blumenfeld’s two phonics reading instruction books. Follows the phonics reading instruction of both teaching books lesson by lesson and provides a wide range of extra practice exercises for your student. Covers all lessons. Includes: fill in the word, match words, find missing words, matching words with illustrations or misspelled words and many more types of very reinforcing practice exercises. While optional, the workbook has been found by many to be very helpful in teaching phonics reading to students.

    You do not need to be an expert to use this Phonics Workbook. Just like Alpha-Phonics and How To Tutor, the reading instruction textbooks, anyone who can read can definitely teach anyone else to read. For sample pages and more details see Search Inside the Book or the Alpha-Phonics website. Written in 1995 by Sam Blumenfeld’s long-time friend and colleague Barbara Simkus. Barbara was for many years a professional Tutor in the Detroit area. She felt the need for something extra to be used with some of her students. With Sam Blumenfeld’s blessing, she created this Phonics Workbook to accompany Blumenfeld’s two phonics reading instruction books. The Phonics Workbook has 53 pages and offers extra practice exercise for every lesson in either of the two instruction textbooks. Some special features of the Phonics Workbook are: (1.) General overall instructions, (2.) List of 17 Spelling Rules (The most often and most used rules) (3.) Numerous practice Tests plus Answers included (4.) Syllabication Section with 7 pages of instruction and practice on learning how to divide words into syllables (which is very helpful in learning to read and in developing an enlarged vocabulary), (5.) Sturdy Perfect Binding so the pages will not come out. (6.) Exercises include many interesting, reinforcing and skill building exercises like: fill in the missing word, find the misspelled word, circle the word that has a certain feature in it such as a silent (h), plurals vs. singulars, match words
