Synopsis
What is phonological awareness? How is it related to reading acquisition and literacy? Is phonological awareness a unitary skill or multi-dimensional? These and many other questions are addressed in the book, edited by Diane Sawyer and Barbara Fox. Scholars from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds are brought together to review the empirical studies on the ability to reflect upon and manipulate the phonemic segments of speech. They present their conceptual insights on the relationship of phonological awareness to the reading process, drawing upon an extensive body of empirical research. While there is significant convergence of findings, the reader of this volume should discover sufficient diversity of interpretation to stimulate thought and challenge assumptions.
