Anthony, The Reading Horizons (adults) and Discover Intensive Phonics
(elementary) programs mentioned by Carol Allen are excellent. It follows the
Orton-Gillingham principles and addresses all ages (grade levels).  It can
include interactive software if you are able to purchase it.

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.

Hi,

 

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.
