The National Assessment of Educational Progress has revealed that for the past 25 years, 65% of all fourth-grade students have failed to learn to read on grade level and 80% of those students are low SES students. We also know that with strong teacher training and support, 95% of all students can be taught to read and spell, no matter their age, socio-economic status, or ability to learn. The purpose of this book is to actively guide educators and parents to teach the skills that are the bedrock of learning to read and spell words: -Phonology - the sounds that make up the English language and phonological processing-Orthography - spelling patterns-Morphology - meanings of prefixes, suffixes and root syllables-Etymology - the origins of English words This book has been crafted to provide educators with words to teach each concept, questions to ask to encourage students to actively think, and activities that will help students understand the logic and elegance of how to spell and read words. Readers will learn how to correct student's mistakes so those students can become independent readers and writers.
