Lori,
I went to Jan Bone for the answer to your question about a book for
your son. She uses the same book my son used for college. Jan
recommended this on line resource several years ago and I love it.
Jan said to tell everyone hello.

The one we use in freshman English 102 here for the department is the
Diana Hacker book -6th edition. A Writer's Reference, Bedford/St.
Martin's. Spiral bound. 6th or later edition. Tell her to be sure that
any handbook she buys has 2009 MLA and APA guidelines. That is very
important.
Also post http://www.dianahacker.com/writersref I think there is the
www - might not be, but usually is.
Is companion website with exercises with feedback, research
guidelines, tutorials, ESL help, access to online version of book,
help sheets for common writing problems.,
This is a book that may cost $45-50 or more, but is worth it. Check
out a college/univ. bookstore - and go look before you buy. You may be
able to get it cheaper on Amazon. She might be able to get an exam
copy free through her B/St Martin rep.
If he is at college level doing research, dept has standardized on
Ballinger's The Curious Researcher. Excellent, but assumes student
already has and has used one like the Hacker. CR (curious researcher)
is Pearson Longman, I believe. It's out in my living room.
Anyone writing research papers could benefit from that book.
Hacker is well-organized. Front cover inside organized for table of
contents by composition/style --correctness - (including ESL
challenges and punctuation, and six main groups of grammatical
sentences/ research/basic grammar - MLA papers, APA and CMS papers - .
If the son wants a hard-back, which will probably be more durable,
then St. Martin's Handbook for Writers - also good. More textbook-
looking-like.
Hi to all. I'm writing syllabi for all 3 courses and figuring out how
to use the new Assignment link in Blackboard - which I have to be
proficient in by face-to-face orientation for the online course T,
1./19 6:30 p.m. - that is the beginning of crunch time. The RU classes
both start T 1/26, back to back.

Daily poetry activities with a poem of the week would provide
ongoing exposure to the concept in a playful and meaningful
content. I agree with those reluctant to program-atize simple
skills. By segmentation, do you mean the nonsense words? If the
child is reading and applying phonetic understanding in the context
of meaningful reading experiences, and I do mean to imply directly
that I don't think much of nonsense words, then I would not be
concerned. If the child is struggling, the I would look at the work
of Marie Clay and her Reading Recovery program. There you will find
an emphasis on listening for the change while working with magnetic
letters. Diane Snowball's work on spelling may also be very helpful.

How old is the child and is the child having any trouble using
letter sound strategies as a decoding tool? My students and I have
enjoyed and have had great success with the lessons in Phonemic
Awareness in Young Children (Marilyn Adams). Occasionally I have a
child in my intervention program who has had significant issues
with phonological,/phonemic awareness. This can impact a reader at
any age.

What would be wrong with just choosing some rhyming books/
songs...there are
o many. And having fun. And letting him find the rhyming words and
ettingkids mark the rhymes with markers or tape and just having fun
for a
hile!!! Why a program???? Great bibliography of appropriate books

I have a bright student w/ educated supportive parents who is apt at
everything except rhyming and DIBELS"s phoneme segmentation.
I don't know of any assessments that pertai to rhyming and I would
like
strategies to begin some early interventions. Please help, somebody?
No luck so far.
