This comprehensive, groundbreaking book is an ideal companion to textbooks that focus on the theories behind articulation and phonological disorders but with little or no coverage of treatment options. It provides treatment strategies not only for the many sound system disorders with unknown etiologies, but also for those known to be caused by a structural, sensory, or neurological problem. It also discusses treatment for disorders caused by residual problems from early childhood. What sets this book apart is the inclusion of practical, step-by-step treatment strategies for ALL potential causes - beyond those of unknown origin.

• A logical organization first discusses a framework for basic treatment and follows with chapters on treatment strategies for specific sound system disorders, relating treatment strategies to the disorder's cause.
• Step-by-step instructions summarize the implementation of treatment strategies, providing a quick and easy reference tool.
• An evidence-based focus uses the best of both classic and recent literature to present the most effective treatment models and strategies.
• Case studies accompany discussions of specific treatment strategies, presenting detailed case histories followed by author commentary.
• Research Notes emphasize evidence-based practice by highlighting significant contributions to the treatment of sound system disorders.
• Chapter objectives include specific learning goals, helping to focus attention on key points and ensure mastery of content.
• Chapter outlines provide an overview of content and help in locating specific information.
• Key terms are listed at the beginning of each chapter and discussed within the text.

The book is a brief, practical guide for teachers who want or have to teach phonics. Phonological awareness and phonics are integrated so that the foundation of phonological awareness prepares students for phonics and makes both areas reciprocal. In work with struggling readers, Dr. Gunning developed a system to build on what students know and teach them to analyze words independently. He also found that students need a lot of practice to become effective readers. Phonological Awareness and Primary Phonics is a practical resource manual designed to provide step by step suggestions for assessing and instructing students in grades K-2 in phonological or phonemic awareness and phonics skills and strategies. This book provides an overview of phonological awareness and phonics, but goes far beyond that to present virtually everything a teacher might need in order to implement a high-quality, effective word analysis program. For pre-service and in-service teachers of elementary reading methods, elementary language arts and reading diagnosis/assessment and correction.
