Are you interested in a phonics program that is part of a comprehensive reading program? Rather than treating it as an end in itself, "Sound It Out!" shows how phonics fits into the overall process of a child's learning to read. It helps readers 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 knowledge 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 many different approaches to teaching phonics for reading and spelling.

About the Author
John F. Savage is Professor Emeritus at the Lynch School of Education at Boston College, where he was Coordinator of the Graduate Reading/Literacy program for 33 years. He began his career as a classroom teacher when Dick and Jane dominated the reading scene. He taught reading with a phonics/linguistic approach and was an active participant as whole language gained popularity in classroom programs. He has witnessed the ebb and flow of phonics in schools for over 40 years, and he still maintains an active role in classrooms with teachers and children. Dr. Savage’s professional writing includes five college texts in 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 written scores of professional journal articles, a children’s trade book on dyslexia, and other material that ranges from magazine articles to basal stories. Most recently, he has written a comprehensive primary grade phonics program, Phonics Plus (Educators Publishing Service, 2006). A popular speaker, John Savage has conducted workshops on reading instruction all over the Unites States, in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia, where he was a Senior Fulbright Scholar.

Format:Paperback
In my undergrad program, this was the textbook that was used to build our foundation of the various phonics elements. This is a gem of a book. Since then, I have purchased other phonics books written by many other 'experts' in the field and I have come to one conclusion. This is the best one out there. The other phonics books gives you the authors teaching strategies and what works for them. Well, as you all know... what works for one teacher and their class doesn't work for you and your class. I still refer back to this book to cement my knowledge of the multitude of phonics elements and how to teach them. I highly recommend this book to novice teachers and new teachers. I used it a lot when I was a Title I teacher in a school district. This is a great resource I plan on keeping for the rest of my teaching career. Great job Mr. Savage!
