Word Lists

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

A few months back there was a thread here that addressed the discrepancy between achievement in word recognition vs. word attack skills. Some of the Special Ed. teachers here agreed that after much work and remediation on our parts, students increased their achievement on the word attack tests, but made little or no progress on word identification lists. A very inexpensive word fluency list was suggested to help address this problem. Can anyone here share what that program is? Unfortunately, I must have forgotten to save the information. I really hope someone knows what I’m talking about!

We use Great Leaps- which addresses fluency at the word, phrase and sentence level. I don’t think this was the recommended program- I remember this thread too (I was on it) but anyway…

You can find it at www.greatleaps.com

Did you look way back in the old posts? I will look too.

After you suggested looking in old posts :).

I found it, though. It was in one of your posts in April. The program is called Concept Phonics by Phyllis Fischer. Thank you very much.
