More About This Textbook
Overview
The fifth edition of this esteemed book seamlessly weaves together the complex, varied strategic approaches needed to help students develop reading and spelling skills. Pat's balanced reading program incorporates a broad spectrum of methods for meeting the needs of individual students. New activities and strategies emphasize that what matters is not how much phonics students know but what they actually use for decoding a new word, for reading and spelling, and for writing.

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
A wonderful resource for someone who is tutoring children of different levels in reading. One book to help them with all of their children, what a bargain!
- Christine M Eaton, Owner/Director, Little Learners Early Childhood Center, Inc., Olathe, KS
Dr. Cunningham’s description of her “personal phonics history” lets the reader see that she truly understands what being a teacher is all about. It is no wonder that every book or article she authors is a best-seller!
I already own a previous edition, but the new material makes this book worth investing in once again.
- Tracy Hendrix, Academic Coach, Carnesville Elementary School, Carnesville, GA
All elementary (K through 5) teachers should own this book and implement the strategies and lessons Patricia Cunningham suggests.
