Books for Parents and Home Schoolers:

Below is a short list of the many products we offer for homeschoolers and parents.  See the Educational Materials and Reference Materials pages for more information about our products.

• Sequential Spelling for Home Study Learning 1-7  It's the only method of teaching spelling that eliminates the Study-for-the-test-and-forget-by-Monday syndrome.  Each of the 7 levels has 180 daily tests of 21 words for a total of over 25,000 words!  It's a real help for homeschoolers in learning spelling.
   

• If it is to be, it is up to me to do it is a parent-friendly spelling/reading book for children 12 on up who might resent a title with the number 1 in it.  Click on the title for a full explanation of how it works and a free download of the first seven lessons.
   

• Let's Write Right will enable you to teach a child to read AS they are learning the alphabet NOT after!  There are no cute bunny rabbits or balloons so this set of books will not be a put-down for older students or adults who need help in either learning manuscript, cursive, or both.  They will also be learning reading and spelling skills as they practice their penmanship.
   

• Individually Guided Keyboarding is designed to help students improve their reading and spelling skills AS they learn the keyboard in a systematic manner.
   

• The Patterns of English Spelling, the only resource book that contains all the rimes (word families) and all the words within each rime.  It also has cross references to rimes that rhyme.
   

• Volume 1 of The Patterns of English Spelling with Their Word Families Put into Sentence Context is now FREE  with membership in the AVKO Foundation.
   

• Word Families in Sentence Context, the only reading text ever devised to teach word families in the context of real sentences.  Although it uses drills to teach skills, adults find the sentences entertaining.  Because the sentences are written for adults, the beginning adult reader keeps his focus and learns decoding by onsets and rimes as well as by applying other skills in context of real sentences.
   

• The Teaching of Reading: a Continuum from Kindergarten through College. contains  suggested orders of presentation (curriculum) for the teaching of phonics, phonemic awareness, spelling, as well as techniques for teaching vocabulary, reading comprehension and studying.
