Coming Up: Get Ready for Session 6<br />
Beginning readers need phonetic awareness and decoding abilities, and<br />
they should be given opportunities <strong>to</strong> apply phonics skills. It’s important<br />
<strong>to</strong> realize, however, that research does not support one particular<br />
approach <strong>to</strong> phonics teaching over another. In “<strong>What</strong> We Know <strong>About</strong><br />
How <strong>to</strong> Teach Phonics,” Patricia and James Cunningham describe<br />
principles of effective teaching that apply across the curriculum and<br />
discuss application <strong>to</strong> phonics instruction and early literacy learning.<br />
Read this chapter and think about your own teaching of phonics and<br />
decoding (or, if you’re an upper-grade teacher, what you know about<br />
phonics). Keep these questions in mind:<br />
• According <strong>to</strong> the research findings described in this chapter, how<br />
should phonics be taught?<br />
• Why are multifaceted and multilevel instructional principles<br />
essential in teaching phonics?<br />
