Parents often write to me to tell me about ideas they have that make the teaching in the Phonics Plus Five sessions move as smoothly and effectively as possible. Here is one of those ideas.

"My husband and I share the teaching and we have set up a three-ring binder where, each session, we store the worksheets our son has completed. That way, for any new session, all we have to do is go to the binder and see what has been done. That tells us exactly what lesson to do next. The binder also keeps the papers in perfect order."
