Using Linguistic Lenses to Journey into Words provides teachers with a transformative instructional framework to enhance word study teaching in their classroom. This book introduces the concept of four Linguistic Lenses—Phonology, Orthography, Morphology and Etymology—offering teachers and school leaders a comprehensive approach to supporting students in navigating the perceived complexities of the English language, boosting literacy levels and enhancing skills in reading comprehension, writing and spelling.
By merging linguistic research with practical teaching strategies and real-world classroom examples, teachers will be equipped with the tools to teach word analysis effectively. In today's world, where language serves as a gateway to global knowledge exchange, empowering teachers with tools to differentiate literacy instruction is crucial for nurturing our future leaders. Authored by a teacher, for teachers, it is time to come together to explore the science, truth and logic of our English spelling system.
"This book offers an insightful exploration of teaching literacy through Linguistic Lenses, providing a fresh perspective that engages both established theories and emerging trends. The author’s thorough research and clear writing make the art of teaching complex literacy skills accessible with a hands-on approach that all teachers can engage in. As an educator and leader, this step-by-step guide underlining the pedagogy behind teaching linguistics to all ages is a must-read for experienced and emerging teachers alike. This book contributes meaningfully to quality teaching practice and will undoubtedly stimulate further professional discussion in schools and educational settings."
