Phonics They Use








By Patricia M. Cunningham

"All good readers have the ability to look at a word they have never seen before and assign it a probable pronunciation. Because the English language does not assign one sound to each letter, there are different ways to pronounce certain letter patterns, but the number of different ways is limited; moreover with real words, unlike made-up words, your listening/speaking vocabulary lets you know which pronunciation to assign. This book is about how to direct children's attention toward letters and sounds to enable them to use strategies, not learn skills." - excerpt, Patricia Cunningham

This comprehensive guide to teaching phonics includes practical classroom activities that direct pupils' attention toward the letter-sounds and patterns that make our language system work. Pupils gain the understanding of language they need to build literacy skills.
