DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
- You're a classroom teacher (or support classroom teachers) in grades Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd
- Your students have a big range of needs when it comes to phonics and reading
- You know you want to differentiate phonics and word work...but you're not sure about how to make the logistics work
- You need practical strategies that actually work for a REAL classroom, with limited time and resources!
If this sounds like you, you're going to love The Phonics Playbook!
The Phonics Playbook begins by describing highly-effective, research-based routines for phonics instruction. You'll learn which assessments give you the most helpful (and least helpful!) information for making differentiation decisions. We'll cover how to make groups, too!
Then, you'll learn about 3 main models of differentiation for phonics instruction, as well as how to adapt these models depending upon how much whole group and small group instruction you want to use.
Finally, we'll cover how to best serve specific student populations (e.g., beginning Kindergarteners and English Language Learners), as well as how to differentiate students' independent phonics activities.
You'll walk away with a clear path to making differentiated phonics instruction work in your specific situation - and how to set your students up for reading success!

Hi there!
I'm Alison Ryan, literacy specialist and author of The Phonics Playbook.
Teaching reading and writing is my passion! I've worked in schools since 2005, in many different capacities: tutor, classroom teacher, reading interventionist, reading specialist, and Director of Curriculum & Instruction. I have a master's degree in literacy leadership, an ESL endorsement, am trained in Orton-Gillingham, and am CERI certified in Structured Literacy (C-SLCT)
Back in 2012, I saw a huge need for teacher-friendly resources that made it easy to implement research-based best practices. So I started Learning At The Primary Pond to share ideas and resources with other teachers.
Over a decade later, Learning At The Primary Pond serves teachers in many ways - through our phonics program, membership sites, and more.
The ideas I share in The Phonics Playbook are time and teacher-tested -- both by me and by the teachers I coach! I can't wait for you to dig in and see your students soar when you implement the strategies from the book.
