Learn to Spell 500 Words a Day: The Consonants

by Camilia Sadik

Overview

Learn to Spell 500 Words a Day is a book for children and adults who can read but cannot spell the words that they read. It can be used by parents or in schools from the 4th grade and up, or by older children and adults as a self-help book. All ages are guaranteed to learn to read and spell hundreds of words at a time! The Consonants is a volume in the book Learn to Spell 500 Words a Day, which is in six volumes. The titles of the six volumes are The Vowel A, The Vowel E, The Vowel I, The Vowel O, The Vowel U, and The Consonants. The author, Linguist Camilia Sadik spent 15 years intensely dissecting English, discovering over 100 spelling rules, applying her exclusive rules in 600 phonics and spelling lessons, class testing her discoveries and preparing 10 breakthrough phonics books for children and adults to read and spell 32,000 words within months or weeks. The 30 unique learning features in the books make learning to read and spell inescapable; and, dyslexia in spelling and in writing letters in reverse ends, after learning to spell and after slowing down to write words slowly. The eight inconsistent consonants c, g, h, q, s, x, w, and y produce 50 sounds we call phonics, which are spelled in 60 ways we call spelling patterns. These consonants are dissected and isolated in The Consonant book. In addition, all of the prefixes in 900 words are presented in the last chapter of The Consonant. The Consonants is a book that contains 45 comprehensive and detailed phonics and spelling lessons. Each lesson begins with a logical spelling rule, followed by a list of nearly all the words that follow that rule, and students are asked to read aloud slowly to memorize the spelling of hundreds of words at a time. Every sound and spelling pattern of the eight consonants is presented in this book. Summary of a lesson: The letter K is in a limited number of useful words (approximately 40) and the K is not allowed in long words. Therefore, the K sound is often spelled with C, Ch, Q, and X. The K sound is spelled with C in these 12 ways: (cat, academy), (cold, consonants), (cup, accurate), (club, conclude), (crop, describe), (fact, character), (sick, fantastic), (accident, back), (sock, occupy), (deck, eccentric), (luck, chuckle), and (choir, chemistry). Other Phonics Books by Camilia Sadik: 1. Read Instantly: 200 Phonics Lessons for All Ages Read Instantly is a book to teach phonics. Anyone capable of learning the ABC's is guaranteed to learn to read from this book. Read Instantly is for beginners, but all learners need to start with it to learn phonics in a brand-new way. 2. Learn to Spell 500 Words a Day (A, E, I, O, U, Consonants): Learn to Spell 500 Words a Day is for the intermediate level, ideal for grades 4-12 and for adult literacy. Vowels rule English and they cannot be avoided; thus, each vowel is dissected and isolated in a volume and eight inconsistent consonants are isolated in the sixth volume. For instance, the vowel "a" has five sounds we call phonics, which are spelled in 12 ways we call spelling patterns. Every sound and spelling pattern of the vowel "a" is presented in The Vowel A book, as in these examples [Long a: may, main, ate, eight, table, break] [Short a: man] [Special sounds of a: fall, false, author, awe, warn] [Schwa sound of a: permanent] 3. 100 Spelling Rules 100 Spelling Rules contains exclusive spelling rules discovered by Linguist Camilia Sadik. Logical learners need these rules to know when to spell a sound one-way and not the other, as in the final sound in fashion, ocean, suspicion, complexion, superstition, expression, and musician. Rules alone do not teach spelling; thus, Sadik applied the rules in 600 phonics lessons in 10 books. The 10 books are cumulative and 100 Spelling Rules is for the advance level. 4.

About the Author

SpellingRules.com was founded by Linguist Camilia Sadik as a Breakthrough Spelling Solution in 1997 to provide a one-stop source for spelling words, reading phonics, and / or dyslexia solutions.

Professor Camilia Sadik, a Linguist who previously could not spell, developed a program out of need. No program, book, or teacher could help her remember the spelling of the words she read. As a result, Sadik spent over 15 years intensely dissecting English, discovering more than 100 spelling rules, various vowels rules and phonics rules, applying the rules in phonics-based spelling lessons, class testing her discoveries, and preparing breakthrough phonics-based spelling books for children and adults to learn the spelling of 25,000 words within weeks or months.

Sadik insists that no one else should have to spend 15 years intensely dissecting English, simply to learn to spell. Professor Sadik is an expert in helping those who everyone else has given up on them. Her specialty is in ending dyslexia in spelling and dyslexia in writing letters in reverse. Dissecting English, teaching and consulting in public schools and community colleges, and having published 10 books, Sadik has a broad knowledge in teaching literacy and ESL.

Academically, Sadik earned a BA in Philosophy from Wayne State University and a Masters Certificate in Applied Linguistics from San Diego State University. In addition, she earned California Teaching Credentials and is certified in teaching the Essential Elements of Adult Basic Education.
