This book explains why some children (and adults) have difficulty reading and spelling words correctly. The problem is lack of phonological awareness, which is the ability to match the sounds you speak to the letters you see for reading, and the letters you print for spelling. Learning how to feel sounds, noticing how they look in a mirror, and linking this to how they sound, when used together help children (and adults) read and spell accurately. And if they make mistakes, to correct them independently. This manual teaches the parts of linguistics that help with accurate reading and spelling. There are forty-eight lessons which teach how words are constructed, why they sound the way they do, how to learn the hard parts, and why certain parts are hard. When students learn more about how English works, their confidence and school grades soar. This is also a resource book for teachers because it explains the SYSTEM of English letters and sounds.
