The "Big Words for Big Kids" making words book by Patricia Cunningham is also a great resource, and supports the month-by-month phonics. I'd use it for fourth or fifth graders.

We have recently implemented a Reading/Writing Workshop approach for grades 3-5 at our small independent school. One of the teachers is quite concerned that phonics is not being explicitly taught. We do use Words Their Way. In addition, teachers include word attack skills during some of the mini-lessons. How do other schools address this issue?
