I love how the guidebook is organized by phonics skill and has the frequency of the graphemes too. It really will help to make my phonics teaching stronger and the word lists are great too. I like how the teaching posters are included to help my students remember some of the important phonics rules. The jobs of silent e is so awesome to share with my first graders!
