Phonics from A to Z: A Practical Guide Book

Phonics A-Z gives a summary of phonics and teaches the basics of phonics awareness. It gives practical suggestions for phonics lessons and gives special instruction for struggling readers and ELL students. There are ready to use lesson plans, games and learning center ideas. For those teachers that work with struggling readers, this book helps to explain the reasons behind our phonics rules which in turn made it easier for me to explain why letters make the sounds they do in a word. The book is geared toward elementary, but I think all teachers could benefit from the ideas in this book.
