Description

It affirms the necessity of a structured literacy approach for these students, while adding in the extra layers of support that may also be beneficial (e.g., comparing English and home language, vocabulary considerations, etc.). Chapter topics, by a variety of expert contributors, include phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, reading comprehension, spelling and writing. There is also a section with recommended apps and instructional technology.
This book is available in the Ontario College of Teachers Library.
