This workbook really helped me to learn the content of the book it accompanies--Speech to Print, by Louisa Moats. Moats' book presents a lot of fascinating technical information about English spelling, decoding, and vocabulary and how people actually learn to read. The material is complex and it can take some time to understand it. When I read Speech to Print I was already familiar with some of the concepts, but I used the workbook reveal areas that I didn't fully understand. I ended up doing some of the workbook exercises before I read the chapters in the book, to preview the material and to reveal what I already knew, and saving some to do after reading the chapters, to check and reinforce my understanding. The workbook provides a multi-sensory, experiential way to interact with the complex material in Speech to Print.
This book is a great resource for ESL teachers. I have an M.A. in linguistics and a certificate in TESL and wonder why I was never taught the phoneme and grapheme relationships discussed by Moats. I think that native English speakers tend to ignore the complexities of English spelling because we have unconsciously learned the relationships between phonemes and graphemes, but I would think that ESL students, especially young ones, would greatly benefit from explicit instruction in this area. For example, Moats describes the eight ways in which we spell the long "a" sound in English: way, made, weigh, ... etc. All ESL teachers should read this book.
I read the previous review and feel very sorry for the teachers who are taught nothing about linguistics. Linguistics is the science of reading yet virtually no teacher knows that. Our educationists have NO science of reading in their teacher education and the previous, pitiful review is the result. She was taught to read without PHONICS. THERE IS NO PHONICS IN LINGUISTICS. Phonics exists in the undernourished minds of educationists who have no science of language soooo they just made it up themselves. Phonology, orthography, etymology and morphology are the areas you need to study.The previous review beautifully illustrates the state of our teachers supposed college education. It's not getting better either. So sad for remedial readers.
great book! Really dissects how we learn our language and how it affects our reading instruction as educators.
Outstanding resource for my class!
