Summary:In this course-in-a-book, the Freemans explain essential linguistic concepts in a thorough, but manageable manner and show the connections between linguistic theory and classroom practice. They demonstrate that the greater a teacher's understanding of basic language structures and processes, the easier it is to make good decisions on tough topics like phonics, spelling, and grammar. They present the basic concepts of linguistics in everyday language, and examples and activities that apply linguistics concepts to teaching reading, spelling, phonics, and grammar to all students, including English language learners.--From publisher description.
