Description
Teaching reading is a vital part of a career in the classroom. However, addressing the diverse range of learning needs children have can be a real challenge for trainee teachers. Margaret Perkins offers guidance to help students become confident and reflective teachers of reading. Her book provides an in-depth explanation of phonics teaching alongside other approaches, empowering trainees to choose the right method for each individual child. It also draws on key research findings to inform teaching practice. Practical activities, including school-based scenarios and independent learning tasks, help apply theory to practice and develop teaching skills through self-reflection. By exploring how children learn and respond to different teaching strategies, this book helps trainee teachers meet the demands of the curriculum and support all learners effectively.
