It
provides the teacher with quick and easy access to often humorous
and interesting graded dictations opposite phonically ordered
word lists. The lists are separated into the different syllable
types on different pastel-coloured paper deliberately chosen to
match the colours of highlighting pens. More difficult and less
obvious sound patterns are provided on grey paper. White paper
is reserved for looking at words in other ways e.g. irregular
words, thematic groupings, prefixes and suffixes. There are blank
grids at the back for extra words e.g. subject spellings. It includes
everything from 'cat, hat, mat' to 'cautious, fictitious, surreptitious'.
Reading the dictations can also help with vocabulary.
The
above book is indexed by spelling pattern with a colour-coded
'progress trees' which acts as the key to the book. Every sound
pattern in the English language is represented, with comprehensive
lists showing whether a particular pattern is common or not. Because
the book is photocopiable, the teacher can 'mix and match' choosing
appropriately from each book according to need. There are no teaching
points (apart from the basic spelling rules) and they are not
intended to be used as a teaching course which is followed in
a prescribed order. The teacher chooses the method and order according
to the needs of the student.
