I thought I had learned all of phonics in the one room school I attended.

There are 2 sets of rules that have been forgotten since the mid 1800s.

The silent letter rules and the substitute letter rules.

I stuck them on one of my websites so anybody can take them for free, no click bait.

We used them when we homeschooled, very effective.

You might see a thing about t-shirts for sale.

I no longer do that.

Phonics

I use the Megawords series at the high school level. It’s a multisensory and systematic approach for decoding and encoding multisyllabic words. At first, students think I’m treating them like babies, but eventually they look forward to Word Study Wednesday. When I teach the “ible” and “able” rule, they never forget! Kids need explicit instruction when they are struggling readers.
