To teach phonics effectively to children learning to read,
education professionals need a deep understanding of the nuances
and complexities of the English language. That's why this highly
influential classic is more important than ever. A book that shaped
the work of the most respected and prominent literacy experts, The
Roots of Phonics is finally back in print to enlighten a new
generation of professionals-many of whom have not had phonics
instruction themselves. Through this clear and concise history of
how modern English phonics developed, readers will trace the
evolution of familiar language concepts: the alphabet, syllables,
vowels and consonants, spelling, pronunciation, punctuation marks,
and more. As readers uncover the "big picture" of phonics and the
forces that shaped it, they'll learn fascinating facts such as why
our alphabet has 26 letters what sparked the phonics vs. whole
language debate how Spanish, French, Dutch, Native American, and
other languages influenced the development of American English what
phonemes, graphemes, and morphemes are, and how they relate to each
other how the invention of movable type affected writing and
spelling why British spellings faded from American English how
different pronunciations take hold in different regions of the
country More than a history lesson, this landmark book strengthens
readers' understanding of the English language and illuminates the
longtime importance of phonics in education-critical insights
they'll use as they help children learn to read. A must for the
library of every education professional, SLP, and researcher who
works to promote children's literacy.
