Gail T. Gillon: Phonological Awareness, Research to Practice

[debbie]

Here is a section of a book that has just been recommended via Twitter. The section itself is well-worth reading.

I have not as yet personally reviewed the whole book itself, but I have read this section below which has touched upon some very interesting information already:
