Handy English Encoder Decoder: All the Spelling and Phonics Rules You Could Ever Want to Know

I bought this book to reference when teaching reading to my Title I kids. The book is great and explains decoding rules wonderfully.The bought was in excellent condition, and the service was prompt.

This is a history of words and why the English language is so complex. It is a fun little piece of trivia but not too useful when teaching spelling rules.

Great Resource!!!

This little booklet packs a big whallop! Literally hundreds of spelling and phonics rules are easily categorized in this handbook. Commonly confused and misspelled words, homophones, capitalization rules and much, much more are also covered. The wonderful thing about this book is that, while it gives you the answer you need, it is brief and to the point. It's small enough to carry with you or keep right at your desk. It provides a quick and simple answer to your spelling or punctuation quandry. No need to sift through page after page, trying to find what you're looking for. This user-friendly guide puts the answer at your fingertips and is a great resource for any aspiring writer.

Simple and certainly "handy"! I wish I had this back in my school days. Almost as useful during the schooling years as your Noah Webster's Dictionary, this book clearly walks you through all the spelling and phonics rules you will come across. Written in its clear and precise format, it is quite an aid in teaching the phonics rules to your children, as well as having them seek out the rules for themselves.
