Looking to help your kids learn to read, Linda Tognoni, M.Ed., has written "A+ Super Phonics to the Rescue," a book that helps parents and teachers teaching Phonics to their kids and students with a scientific, pragmatic, proven system for giving young learners the tools to read better than they ever have before.
Tognoni believes in the value of explicit, teachable reading skills that go beyond discovery "balanced" literacy's guesswork trial and error. "A+ Super Phonics" is stuffed with research-based strategies for improving one's natural reading ability, regardless of grade or comprehension level. Tognoni has worked with children as young as kindergarteners and as old as ninth graders.
Her systematic program has consistently demonstrated rapid, measurable success for participants. When the focus is firmly on skills, reading becomes far less mysterious and daunting. 'A+ Super Phonics' shakes things up by teaching students to think critically about the reading process. When students feel pride and ownership in their own education, there's no limit to what they can achieve.

"A+ Super Phonics" takes a direct instruction approach to reading instruction. Included are sections on phonograms, blending/segmenting, syllabication patterns, grade-appropriate vocabulary, vowel spelling choices and more.
The workbook allows students to move forward at their own pace, each section building incrementally on the previous one. With a chapter on learning games, the lessons are intended to be as fun as they are instructional. The step-by-step process is reassuring for young readers, as they're not overwhelmed by too much, too soon.

Tognoni's program is designed with both parents and teachers in mind. It features diagnostic tests and progress checks to ensure that the reader is moving ahead at the fastest pace possible. For the educator, it's easy to follow along with the child's progress and use learning games for practice and review whenever necessary.
