Unlocking Literacy: Effective Decoding and Spelling Instruction

Easy to read and understand. Very teacher friendly.

A Must for Elementary Teachers!

This book is a must-read for elementary school teachers and would make good reading for parents of young children and perhpas even teachers across the board. Too many of our reading programs in this country are put together in a rather random and haphazard way, even though NCLB is trying to remedy this situation. Unlocking Literacy explains why and how to put together a "cohesive, systematic, explicit, and direct" reading program. It should be required reading of every elementary teacher in training, parent of a young child, and educator in the country.

Don Potter's Review

Marcia K. Henry has been a major factor in my success as a reading teacher. I have used her WORDS program for teaching the Anglo-Saxon, Latin and Greek levels of English for many years. Her new book Unlocking Literacy: Effective Decoding and Spelling Instruction is a comprehensive introduction to the letter-sound correspondences, syllable patterns and morphemes patterns of English. It is a reference book I wouldn't be without.

This innovative book provides general and special educators with teaching strategies to help students from pre-kindergarten to middle school learn to read and spell accurately by integrating two important, interlocking skills: decoding and spelling. The book is filled with classroom activities, lesson plans, samples of students' work, and extensive word lists-organized by students' age and ability levels. Unlock literacy by expanding literacy skills and knowledge, boosting early literacy and language development, beginning formal reading and writing instruction, and deepening students' proficiency with language! The decoding model has been found to be effective for students with or without learning disabilities and English language learners.
