Very Helpful

I found this guide to be extremley helpful. It provides an overview of all the components of literacy for young children and gives a ton of great lesson ideas. I went to a workshop on literacy and everything the leaders were demonstrating came right out of this book. I recommended it to everyone there! I'll be teaching spec. ed 1st-3rd grade this year and I can adapt every activity to my classroom. I am very excited to implement Cunningham's ideas!

Phonics We Can All Use!!!

This book is full of great activities and strategies for teaching reading. It is not like the typical phonics lessons found in workbooks and basal series. You won't even know that you are teaching phonics! Who ever thought it could be fun! The kids love it and the teachers who use it do too!

Makes teaching phonics fun for students *and* teachers!!

This was one of the texts for my reading methods classes when I got my teaching credential. I've used it more than many of my other resources. If you're goal is to teach children to read, you need this book! Whole language advocates (of which I am one) will love it, too!!!

An excellent, practical teacher resource book!

Patricia Cunningham has provided a resource in this book that Reading teachers should not do without. The ideas are easily put into use in the classroom. Chapter 3, High Frequency Words, shows how to use a Word Wall to teach the reading and spelling of common words. This book is written in easy to understand language and is enhanced by real classroom photos. It's a book you'll find yourself reading over and over!

You've got to read this book!!

This is a great, practical how-to book that every teacher should read. It is easy to read and full of ideas and activities that you can use in your classroom. The hands-on, activity based ideas can be used with all ages and all levels
