Reading fundamentals for preschool and primary children

This book presents a sequence of rereading and reading skills deemed essential for individuals at the pre-reading and early reading levels. Beginning with the elements of language development, it moves through basic decoding and comprehension skills. While this book could be used as a cookbook, hopefully it will not be. The skills and methods are the warp and woof of the philosophy of reading and are supported by research evidence to encourage a deeper understanding of the reading process and of the most effective means of helping children to master that process. Much of this book is devoted to an explanation of the why of instruction. Unless we as teachers constantly evaluate why, we get into a rut and continue doing what we have always done and only because we have always done it. The contents are limited to reading and reading related activities. - Introduction.
