From the author about the revised chapter: "..of the twenty-three strategies from the original version of this chapter, I’ve heavily revised about ten, and added twenty new ones to offer you thirty research-based options to choose from as you support your students, including those for whom learning to read is especially challenging. As with other strategies I’ve shared, these new strategies are not intended to be a phonics curriculum, and they and could never be a replacement for one. Instead, they are meant to help children apply and transfer what they learn from your systematic, explicit phonics and phonological awareness instruction to connected text reading."
