Vital English Phonics - Teacher's Book

Phonics is the connection of written letters to meaningful sounds. We use phonics skills in reading and they also help with spelling. Teaching basic phonics principles to students can be very helpful. The Vital English Phonics teacher's book provides innovative and effective methods and materials for teaching the most fundamental and useful phonics principles of English — the sounds and shapes of single letters, and how they blend together to form meaningful words. 58 photocopiable worksheets for students include multisensory letter practice/phonemic awareness, word reading practice, listening practice which gives students plenty of practice with new and previously taught letter/sound combinations, and puzzle-style review worksheets. Extensive notes for teachers cover phonics teaching principles, techniques, and fun, absorbing activities. The course is well suited to young learners, but can also be used with good effect to teach adults and young adults.
