Phonics Pathway Boosters! is based on Dolores G. Hiskes's classic resource Phonics Pathways. This value-packed book offers a selection of lively teaching aids and fun-filled games that were created to enhance phonics and reading instruction for fans of Phonics Pathways and can also be used effectively with other reading programs.

Phonics Pathways Boosters! includes 46 double-sided flash cards that illustrate the sounds and spelling patterns of the English language. The engaging Speaking Pathways CD offers a 35-minute audio recording demonstrating the sounds of spoken English. In addition, the book contains three fun phonics games:

• BlendIt! develops blending skills and reinforces knowledge of beginning spelling patterns

• WordWorks reviews and reinforces knowledge of more advanced phonics reading skills

• The Train Game features individual "train car" cards that kids put together to make longer multi-syllable words

These powerful phonics teaching tools can be used with beginning readers, English language learners, dyslexic students, or children with attention deficits.
