Speech to Print Workbook: Language Exercises for Teachers

The ideal companion to the third edition of the bestselling Speech to Print textbook, 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.

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.
