Title overview

A self-paced, self-instruction program

Phonics and Word Study for the Teacher of Reading: Programmed for Self-Instruction is a program that pre-service and in-service teachers can use to develop a comprehensive understanding of phonics, syllable and accent patterns, onset-rime, the morphemes that contribute to word meaning, and phonological and phonemic awareness. The text provides a number of pedagogical aids to ensure that readers understand the information and see how to apply it in the classroom. A careful sequence of material guides readers to correct responses. Ample repetition and review reinforces learning. Assessment helps teachers gauge their learning, and a pretest and a post-test allow for checking learning before and after using the program.

The new 11th edition focuses on the Common Core State Standards Foundational Skills that apply to the content of the book, interweaving applicable standards throughout and helping teachers make the connections between the Standards and what they are teaching.
