One of the most misunderstood components of reading is phonemic awareness, even with all of the breakthroughs of the last 25 years. Professor Perez's strong effort and clear delineations should clarify and underscore the importance of phonemic awareness as precursor to fluent reading.

This textbook promises to fill in the gaps between what we know from phonemic awareness research and the instruction we provide beginning readers. The textbook will be received as a ready resource by both novice and experienced teachers and will probably adorn the desks of most.
