Teachers rave about A Professional Development Guide to Phonemic Awareness!
"I have been in reading instruction for 33 years and there are teachers in my school who have been in for three years [to] 23 years…with the variation in experience, we have a wide variety of backgrounds…this text brings all that together because of the way it is written…I would use [this book] with my lower grade Reading First teachers and with teachers in grades 2 and 3 for struggling readers. Phonemic Awareness is usually a missing piece in those students who are not on grade level by this time. We could put this information to good use and make it applicable at many grade levels.”
— Cathy Taylor, Reading First Literacy Coach, Stewart County Elementary School, Lumpkin, GA
