Speech to Print Workbook: Language Exercises for Teachers (3rd Edition)

This workbook is designed to be used in tandem with the third edition of Louisa Moats’s bestselling book Speech to Print: Language Essentials for Teachers.

This revised workbook helps teachers deepen their understanding of spoken and written English, practice and strengthen their skills and knowledge, and prepare to deliver high-quality reading instruction. Speech to Print author Louisa Moats has partnered with Bruce Rosow – an experienced special educator and teacher of teachers – to develop an updated and engaging new edition of the workbook that gets today’s teachers ready for success in the classroom.

As in the previous editions, the exercises in the new workbook cover all the areas addressed in the textbook, including phonetics and phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Users will find dozens of new exercises, updates and revisions throughout, and student-friendly features such as chapter quizzes, answer keys, and tips on teaching language concepts to their own students.

Perfect for preservice teacher education courses or for in-service professional development, this workbook will help ensure that educators grasp the complex concepts in Speech to Print – and successfully teach children the critical literacy skills they’ll need for the rest of their lives.

What’s New:

• More than 30 brand-new exercises not found in the Speech to Print textbook

• Extensive new content and exercises addressing syntax and semantics
• New chapter quizzes reinforcing teachers’ knowledge of language building blocks, including phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax, and semantics
