Summary

Readers can work at their own pace using this concise workbook designed to provide future teachers with a sound understanding of both the content and pedagogy of phonics. The contents of this book have been expanded and strengthened to better serve the needs of prospective teachers. Strong evidence indicates that children who are taught phonics at the beginning stages of reading instruction tend to do better than those who are not. Therefore, the concentration of this text is not on whether or not phonics should be included in beginning instruction, but how phonics can be taught most effectively. The book identifies for readers how to assess young children's readiness, including print awareness, concepts of print, sense of story, oral language, and writing. It provides increased opportunities for readers to work with both the context and pedagogy of phonics.For professionals in the field of teaching or anyone interested in teaching.
