Resources:
"Early Learning Matters takes pride in using the best materials available on the market in our learning center. I stumbled upon the "Easy-for-Me™ curriculum and materials when searching for a figural reading program for our preschool/kindergarten ages 3-6. Easy-for-Me™ curriculum and materials are different from traditional reading programs on the market.
Sarah Major has engaged all the senses and tied the learning together to make it meaningful, and to maximize a child's ability to remember what are often just abstract symbols and words. This program is well organized, comprehensive, visually pleasing, easy to use, founded in current research, and most importantly, effective."

Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns
The right brained approach to teaching reading in 20 minutes a day - for kindergarten through adult

How It Works:
A finite number of sounds make up all the words in the English language. With The Illustrated Book of Sounds and Their Spelling Patterns, students learn to read/spell those sounds that are the building blocks of all words. The Illustrated Book of Sounds and Their Spelling Patterns replaces ineffective memorization of words, phonics rules, or decoding, with kid-friendly, brain-friendly patterns and visuals. Students are engaged in listening to sounds, finding patterns, and learning through cartoons and story bytes. The Illustrated Book of Sounds and Their Spelling Patterns demystifies reading by giving students the tools they need to decode unknown, difficult words with ease. This book is a perfect follow-up to the Easy-for-Me™ Reading Sequence.
It's Tested:
This approach has been tested from regular classrooms to resource and special education settings, from whole group to small group, and with children in grades one through middle school. The Illustrated Book of Sounds and Their Spelling Patterns empowers teachers and parents to provide differentiated instruction to every student regardless of their ability level.
It's Easy to Use:
The best news about The Illustrated Book of Sounds and Their Spelling Patterns is that it can be incorporated into any existing curriculum in 15 minutes a day, replacing your spelling lesson. The Illustrated Book of Sounds and Their Spelling Patterns is also teacher-friendly. Once you are familiar with the approach, your work is done! Simply present each lesson, review 10-15 minutes for the next three days, then assess on the 5th day. This cycle is repeated as you progress through the book. 128 reproducible pages. 55 units on varying difficulty levels.
About the Cards:
Sound Spelling Teaching Cards are the perfect accompaniment to The Illustrated Book of Sounds and Their Spelling Patterns. Each card teaches one sound with all its spelling patterns, and includes a colorful illustration and a sentence using words with all the spelling patterns. All the sounds in the English language are covered except for those with no alternate spelling. (Y, W, V, P, B, D are all sounds represented by only the letter itself or the letter doubled. Ex: The sound of B is only ever represented by B or BB.)
Details:
Post the cards in your classroom or home school room one at a time as you teach each sound with its spelling patterns. The set includes 35 8.5 x 11" full-color cards.
