I also taught spelling using phonograms. See: Spelling for Young Writers. When you receive the blog page, there is a place to request the blog you’d like and then it’s somewhere on that page.

I'm retired now but taught beginning reading for many years. And I used several approaches to beginning reading because all children are different.

I've shared free high frequency word flashcards I created with phonics rules on the back on my blog to print for free. Learning some words by sight is okay for a beginning reader. I think of these words like training wheels to help them read easy reader books. I can't imagine why people try to teach 100 or more words by sight instead of teaching a child to read these words. The kids who learn how to read are the ones who figure out phonics and phonograms by themselves in a program that teaches words by sight. My experience with children who are taught words by sight is success in early reader books up to about middle first grade. Then these students are stuck. It's hard to teach them to use letter sound relationships to read. My daughter was one of these students. She learned to read words by sight and guess at harder words. When I tried to help her, she rolled on the floor and said, "I know how to read!" I taught her to sound out words with Phonics Pathways. She finally started to understand and used letters while reading stories. Sorry, I wrote a book for a comment. Thanks again for your great post!

They say they didn't make any effort to teach me; they were surprised when I started reading by myself.
