Self-Paced Phonics: A Text for Educators

Pre-service and in-service teachers get practical instruction that helps them develop a sound understanding of both the content and pedagogy of phonics.

More than a tutorial in phonics, this self-regulating, self-monitoring resource covers both the content and pedagogy of phonics. Designed for use with a minimum of instruction, to be used at the reader's own pace, the book is particularly teacher-friendly and immediately applicable to Web-based instructional models. The authors recognize phonics as one of the least understood word recognition techniques and have set the book up to make phonics more easily understood and useable in the classroom. This new edition pays particular attention to the unique needs of multicultural and multilingual children. It includes more examples illustrating particular phonics elements and expands significantly the practices and cumulative reviews, providing more opportunities for students to work with both the content and pedagogy of phonics.
