Books by Patricia Cunningham
Founder of the Four Blocks Method
![]() Classrooms That Work: They Can All Read and Write by Patricia Cunningham & Richard L. Allington Cunningham's best book to date on how to design a language arts program to meet the needs of ALL your students. With her latest tried-and-true research-based methods, Cunningham and co-author Allington give you advice straight from the classroom. |
![]() Schools That Work: Where All Children Read and Write by Richard L. Allington & Patricia Marr Cunningham The predecessor to Classrooms That Work. Lots of terrific information in an easy to use format. |
![]() Phonics They Use: Words for Reading and Writing by Patricia Cunningham Are you tired of phonics worksheets that don't make sense? Are you ready for something that really works? This is my favorite book for working with Word Walls and teaching phonics in a fun and easy fashion. This book covers the Working With Words block. It's packed full of ready-to-use, fun learning games and activities that will get your students excited and involved. A must-have for 4 Blocks teachers and anyone who wants to accelerate reading, writing, and spelling in their classroom! |
Strategies and Observations by Patricia M. Cunningham, Sharon Arthur Moore, David Moore This is a huge book -- over 500 pages -- and it's filled with Cunningham's
practical advice on setting up a reading program that works. I'd
suggest this one as an addition to your school's professional library,
or for your own bookshelf if you're a serious Cunningham fan, like me.
(Addison-Wesley, 1995)

Additional Four Blocks Resources
![]() Easy Lessons for Teaching Word Families: Hands-On Lessons That Build Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Spelling, Reading, and Writing Skills by Judy Lynch (Scholastic, 1998) This wonderful new book is getting LOTS of use in my classroom right now! I found it the first week of March, and have been using it 3 days a week since then. Lynch's book is the perfect accompaniment to Cunningham's Making Words and the lessons are easy to follow and build upon each other in a systematic fashion that appeals to kids and teachers, using word families and high frequency words. Highly recommended! |
![]() Teaching Reading and Writing with Word Walls: Easy Lessons and Fresh Ideas for Creating Interactive Word Walls That Build Early Literacy Skills by Janiel Wagstaff A brand new book with lots of great ways to get kids involved with your Word Wall. A must-have for anyone creating a Balanced Literacy classroom. |
