Teacher's Perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book cuts to the chase and provides an understandable overview of linguistics and phonics. It speaks clearly to implications for writing, spelling and reading instruction, but does so in a very teacher friendly way.
Not just for teachers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I'm not a teacher, but I enjoyed this very readable introduction to linguistics and how we learn to read, spell, and pronouce words. Why are some words hard to spell correctly? What are the best ways for kids - and adults - to figure out unfamiliar words? Sandra Wilde answers these questions and more in this entertaining and informative book.
