Sound It Out! - Phonics in a Comprehensive Reading System by Savage John

Are you interested in phonics coverage as part of a comprehensive reading program? Rather than treating phonics as an end in itself, this brief text shows how phonics fits into the overall process of a child's learning to read. It helps students understand how phonics can be integrated successfully into an effective classroom reading program. While it includes a wealth of suggestions for practical classroom applications, the book has a solid research base so that students will understand what they are doing and why they are doing it in the classroom. The text includes information about all types of phonics programs and the different approaches to teaching phonics for reading and spelling.

John F. Savage began his professional career as a classroom teacher. He received his doctorate from Boston University and joined the faculty of Boston College, where he has served as Coordinator of the Graduate Reading Program for the past 30 years. Dr. Savage has written five professional books on reading and language arts, including Teaching Reading and Writing: Combining Skills, Strategies, and Literature (McGraw-Hill, 1998) and For the Love of Literature: Children and Books in the Elementary Years (McGraw-Hill, 2000). He has also authored a children's trade book on dyslexia, scores of professional articles, and other material that ranges from newspaper columns to stories in basal reading programs. He has also designed several instructional programs for classroom use. A popular speaker, John Savage has conducted workshops all over the United States, in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia, where he was a Senior Fulbright Scholar.
