This guide for elementary educators, literacy coaches, and reading specialists contains a collection of 48 lessons for teaching phonemic awareness to children in grades K-3 or those in fourth through sixth grades who have difficulty reading. Activities relate to specific phonemes or sounds and can be used out of order. For this edition, Scott (special education and assessment, Southern Illinois U. Edwardsville) has updated lessons, revised pictures and graphics, and provided an updated and revised overview of phonemic awareness that incorporates current research.
