Create relaxed confident & competent readers and spellers.  These 90 lessons provide a solid foundation in phonics & comprehension.

Easy to use.  Simply Works.

A Thoughtfully Designed,
Well-Crafted Reading Curriculum

Reading and Spelling Pure & Simple takes students from being nonreaders to being confident, full-fledged readers in 90 lessons. The lessons teach the letter and sound patterns of the English language. Students learn to associate alphabet letters and letter combinations with their assigned sounds. Concepts are explained in terms of “patterns” rather than “rules”—a far less intimidating approach for most students. Spelling and word comprehension are emphasized throughout the curriculum. These lessons have been successfully used in Tier 2 (Response to Intervention) programs.

Step-by-Step Success,
Pure & Simple

The lessons in Reading and Spelling Pure & Simple are carefully engineered to ensure success, both for the student and the instructor.  A teaching background or an in-depth knowledge and understanding of phonics is not a prerequisite for the person conducting the lessons. If the teacher, aide, tutor, or parent can read, he or she can use this book to teach someone else to read.

Each lesson comes with one page of easy-to-follow instructions. The method is the same for all 90 lessons, providing a predictable routine with which everyone will be comfortable.

For Anyone

Any person who knows how to read can use this book to teach someone else how to read. Previous knowledge of phonics or teaching experience is not a prerequisite.  The curriculum is systematic, sequential, and research-based, and directions for teaching the lessons are concise and easy to follow. Since the format for all 90 lessons is the same, teacher preparation is kept to a minimum. Reading and Spelling is ideally suited for the classroom, for reading groups, and for seatwork as well as for one-on-one instruction.  The workbooks include excellent classroom activities that increase students’ word comprehension and usage.

If your goal is to create an authentic, self-assured reader and you are looking for a curriculum to equip you in every way, this book is for you. No frills, complicated lessons, or lengthy explanations . . . just a solid, ingenious reading curriculum that works . . . pure and simple!
