Rhymes and Reasons : Literature & Language Play for Phonological Awareness

Rating:
Summary: A Must Read for Teachers! (and parents too!)
Review: As someone who has read MANY books on the importance of phonological awareness, I found this book to be one of the best. It is a consise resource for anyone wanting to know more about P.A. As the author states on the back of the book it's an "all in one" guide to phonological awareness. It TRULY is! Not only does it explain what P.A. IS, it also explains what it isn't. I liked the lists of rhyming texts, alliterative texts, song texts, repetitive texts and poetry texts. Not only was all the book information given (ISBN,author, publishing date,publisher), the author took it one step further and offered activities and book extenders for the majority of books listed. He also listed GREAT activities at the end to integrate into your classroom.

This book should be a must read for all teachers and is also a great book that parents would find helpful as well!

If you buy only one phonological awareness book, I suggest this one!
