Pre-service teachers, classroom teachers, reading teachers, and special education teachers can turn to this self-paced, self-instruction program to develop a sound, comprehensive understanding of phonemic awareness and phonics–and make the connections between what they are teaching and the Common Core State Standards Foundational Skills.   A careful sequence of material guides readers to correct responses. Ample repetition and review reinforces learning.  Assessment helps teachers gauge their learning, and a pretest and a posttest allow for checking learning before and after using the program.   The new Eleventh Edition: Helps teachers make the connections between what they are teaching and the Foundational Skills strand of the Common Core State Standards. Explains how children demonstrate awareness of words, syllables, rhymes, and individual phonemes. Provides a variety of outstanding opportunities for assessment and self-checking. Updates the research on phonemic awareness and phonics.   Also from Barbara J.
