This book works through a comprehensive programme for assisting someone to read and spell. It is described as 'a step by step guide to helping anyone aged 7-70'. The programme came from the author's work as a teacher, and from helping other parents to teach their children. Editions of this softcover spiral-ring bound book were published in 1986, 1987 and 1988; this edition contains further revisions to the revised version published in 1994.
With the current reading crisis in South Africa reaching critical proportions (Council on Higher Education Report, 2013) the importance of teaching reading cannot be underestimated. As phonics forms the basis of successful, accurate, and fluent reading, this skills is integral in laying the foundation for learners to become successful interrogators of the language. Kirkbys books serves as a detailed and thorough primer on the basics of teaching phonics, supplying teachers with critical definitions, skills, and exercises which are suitable for the classroom. Any teacher finding him- or herself in a foundation or intermediate classroom will benefit from studying and applying the techniques described. I highly recommend this book for both English Home and additional language teachers who wish to enhance their teaching of phonics and their learners reading and comprehension skills. - Hanta Henning BA Hons (Eng Ling) NWU

Chapters cover key topics such as: the nature of spelling and the impact of the National Literacy Strategy the strengths and weaknesses of existing schemes for handwriting the definitions of dyslexia and how common spelling errors by dyslexics are made making effective links between strategic assessment and strategic interventions in schools problem-based learning, underpinned by plenty of casestudies and real life classroom examples.
