Sep. 15, 2007 - Pollard's Synthetic Phonics--Singing, Spelling, fun pictures
Pollard's Series is a very delightful method, and I'm glad Google Books has scanned the whole series. I was made aware of this program through Geraldine E. Rodgers' "The History of Beginning Reading," available online in e-book format from author house.
If you want to use song and fun to teach, this is a free way to get that! All you need to get started are her Manual and her "First Book for Little Folk." However, she has several other nice books available for more advanced work. A full listing of the program is available on our Phonics Page in the Phonics and Spelling Book section, scroll down to “Synthetic Series of spelling and reading.” Be sure to do some spelling and boardwork (slatework) first before starting to read from the reading selections.
