Description
Do you know why "scheme" is spelled with a "ch" instead of a "k" like "skill"? You will if you have this book! It's a very complete reference for phonics and spelling. Arranged alphabetically, it's easy to look up particular letter combinations. Helpful sections in the front of the book discuss letter names vs. sounds, variations in spelling, syllabication, roots and affixes, vowels, silent vowels, consonant sounds, hard and soft "c" and "g," consonant teams and blends, silent letters, and homonyms. The main reference section contains spelling lists, samples, discussion of and counts for each letter and letter combination. For constructs that can make more than one sound, a separate page is devoted to each. With a little imagination, you could even create a phonics program around it! 342 pgs, pb.
