Synopsis

Written for both in-service and trainee teachers, this title is a practical, up-to-date guide on how to teach children to read using synthetic phonics - the approach adopted in all schools in England from 2007. It describes several different approaches to systematic phonics teaching, together with the rapid progress in word recognition ability that can result. The book also includes case studies, advice on how to diagnose children's phonic skills, and how to locate and remediate their weaknesses. Further, it also provides guidance on how teaching assistants can support the work of the classroom teacher.
