Download or read book Uncovering the Logic of English A Common Sense Solution to America s Literacy Crisis written by Denise Eide and published by Logic of English, Inc. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "English is so illogical!" It is generally believed that English is a language of exceptions. For many, learning to spell and read is frustrating. For some, it is impossible... especially for the 29% of Americans who are functionally illiterate. But what if the problem is not the language itself, but the rules we were taught? What if we could see the complexity of English as a powerful tool rather than a hindrance? --Denise Eide Uncovering the Logic of English challenges the notion that English is illogical by systematically explaining English spelling and answering questions like "Why is there a silent final E in have, large, and house?" and "Why is discussion spelled with -sion rather than -tion?" With easy-to-read examples and anecdotes, this book describes: - the phonograms and spelling rules which explain 98% of English words - how English words are formed and how this knowledge can revolutionize vocabulary development - how understanding the reasons behind English spelling prevents students from needing to guess The author's inspiring commentary makes a compelling case that understanding the logic of English could transform literacy education and help solve America's literacy crisis. Thorough and filled with the latest linguistic and reading research, Uncovering the Logic of English demonstrates why this systematic approach should be as foundational to our education as 1+1=2.

Download or read book Doodling Dragons written by Denise Eide and published by Pedia Learning. This book was released on 2012-02-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This imaginative journey through the alphabet teaches all the sound(s) made by each letter. With delightful characters such as dragons, elves, and hedgehogs students giggle their way through the ABCs. Toddlers and preschoolers often beg for the book to be read again spontaneously repeating the phonogram sounds laying the groundwork to become a strong reader and speller. Children ages 0-3 are developmentally tuned to the sound(s) of the language spoken around them. Young children are drawn to Doodling Dragons and desire to hear it read again and again while they mimic each sound. This provides not only an outstanding foundation for literacy skills but aids children in developing the building blocks for spoken language. Children ages 4-7 delight in hearing the sample words for each of the A-Z phonograms. By hearing and seeing their application within words, students develop phonemic awareness, or an understanding of how sounds combine to form words. Students also delight in the silly examples which provide another memory tool for mastering difficult sounds such as the /ü/ in "püt the bütcher in the püdding"
