Summary "Increasing reading achievement is a universal goal of educators. Reading Their Way: A Balance of Phonics and Whole Language fulfills this goal with a balanced literacy program for kindergarten and beyond, using the best of phonics and whole-language approaches. Dorothy Donat presents reading instruction strategies, scheduling/grouping options, assessments, evaluations, and sound and spelling patterns for each grade level. Written in a style that ensures quick, easy reading, this book will help educators design effective schedules that allow for creativity.
Teachers will find an abundance of ideas for immediate implementation in their classrooms, and school administrators will appreciate the guidance in developing quality literacy programs. Supplemented by an appendix of suggested resources and a reference section, Reading Their Way is also a valuable addition to university-level early reading development courses."--COVER.
