Decoding + Spelling

Making Sense of Decoding and Spelling: An Adult Reading Course of Study was published by the National Institute for Literacy by researchers MacArthur, Alamprese, and Knight in 2010. The complete student workbook as well as the teacher lesson plans are all free and online! This series may seem challenging for tutors, but there’s an excellent teacher’s guide, and many non-teachers have used the series successfully.
