Phonics in Context: Strategies for Developing Sound-Symbol Relationships

By Bronwyn Tester and Sue Horoch. Focused on digraph letter combinations, this jam-packed cornucopia of activity ideas targets the sounds of letter combinations while crossing the curriculum into meaningful lessons in science, social studies, nutrition, health, and other grade-appropriate topics. Each of the 20 units includes relevant word banks, brief descriptions of multiple cross-curricular language experiences (a half-dozen or more activity ideas for each digraph), and lists of picture books appropriate for extending the lessons. An appendix supplies 15 reproducible handouts to aid instruction. Grades K 2. Illustrated. 8 " x 11". Good Year Books. 188 pages. 1996. GDY599.
