It clearly shows how children's knowledge about the sound structure of spoken language contributes to literacy acquisition. Evidence-based strategies are described for enhancing all learners' phonological awareness and effectively supporting those who are struggling (ages 3-17). The book discusses ways to tailor instruction and intervention for a broad range of students, including English language learners (ELLs) and those with reading or language disorders. New to This Edition: *Incorporates over a decade of important advances in research, assessment, and instruction. *Chapter on ELLs, plus additional insights on ELLs woven throughout the book, including new case studies. *Chapter on spelling development. *Significantly revised coverage of children with complex communication needs.
