The Next Step Forward in Word Study and Phonics by Michéle DuFresne, Jan Richardson
5.0
This book is primarily geared towards grades K-2, but I found it to be enormously useful in learning about phonics, activities to be done with words, and how to teach students of all levels while utilizing fun and challenging skill building.
I was surprised at how little I had known about phonics as I had taken a rigorous course in college on linguistics that dealt heavily with phonics. However, when phonics is viewed in relationship with word study, there is an entirely different vocabulary to be used.
I have not completed this practice in my classroom yet, but I will be starting this coming Monday. I am thankful that I am taking this as a course with other elementary teachers so that I can receive support while I practice these new moves, so I won't know how wholly useful this is for the 6th grade level until I have put it into practice. I hope to update my analysis on using the "Jan Richardson" model in a month to see if I am still finding it to be of great use of increasing reading fluency, comprehension, and love for words.
