Description
Beginning to Read offers a fresh perspective on teaching children to read. Marilyn Jager Adams draws on extensive research to show that phonics and whole language approaches can be combined to provide an effective reading instruction.
The book provides an integrated treatment of the knowledge and process involved in skilled reading, as well as the issues surrounding its acquisition. By reconciling decades-old debates, Adams offers educators a way forward from the phonics versus teaching-for-meaning dilemma.
