I have used the paper version and the CBT of HEC Reading Horizons for ESOL as well as a literacy tool for those whose first language is English. This has been very successful. Any method takes work and time.http://www.readinghorizons.com/Carol Allen

Subject: [LearningDisabilities 1951] Question on Using PhonicsHi, Here is an interesting message from the Technology List.  Does anyone have a response for Anthony in the UK? Hi
 
The use of phonics for the teaching of early grapheme recognition and production has now been mandated for children in the UK. The debate still rages as to whether this is the right approach. One of the problems we have is the lack of experience in the technique - this is made even more difficult if one were to think of extending its use to the adult language/literacy learning environment. Does anyone have any experience of using phonics with adult ESOL/EAL learners and, if so, with what results and what materials were used. To my mind, it would seem logical to utilize a tried and tested method.
 
As ever - thanks for your help.
 
From the other side of the pond.
