There is growing evidence that systematic phonics can be a helpful strategy for adult literacy learners, improving both their confidence and their progress in reading comprehension and spelling.
Based on her research into the effectiveness of phonics for adults, and the training sessions she has designed for practitioners, Dr Burton firmly believes that equipping practitioners with underpinning knowledge on phonetics empowers them to deliver confident, accurate and systematic phonics in the classroom.
Written specifically with the adult literacy practitioner and the requirements of the Core Curriculum in mind, and illustrated with examples from adult literacy practice, this unique, clear and accessible guide will be invaluable to adult literacy teachers and teacher-trainers to support their professional development and delivery of phonics in the classroom.
This key volume also provides an introduction to the basic principles of the sound system of English phonetics and phonology for linguistics students and general readers alike and, with reference to the rich variety of different regional and national accents, demystifies the phonemes (sounds) of English.
