This massively thorough guide to The Patterns of English Spelling contains all the rimes (word families) in the English language, as well as the words within each rime, basic suffixes, ending Y's, power suffixes, advanced patters, prefixes and roots. Word patterns are further divided between long and short vowels. An introduction features ways to incorporate the word lists into homework, the basic principles of the book, format notations, and brief notes on the other program components (homophones/graphs, British spellings, pronunciation, difficulty levels, etc.), while an index allows for easy location of word families that illustrate specific phonetic principles. Colored and numbered tabbed dividers separate the various families by vowel for easy reference, and each entry contains a page number where all the words that share the same pattern may be found. 1076 pages, loose-leaf, in three-ring-binder.
