This book explores phonics within the wider landscape of literacy instruction and emphasises the importance of responding to diverse student needs through linguistically informed pedagogy. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book provides pre- and in-service teachers with the essential tools they need to navigate the world of phonics-based reading. The authors offer a balanced perspective that moves beyond the "reading wars" framing, in which phonics and whole-language approaches are often positioned in opposition. Instead, it outlines the latest evidence-based phonics instruction methods and draws on the insights of both educators and researchers. It blends practical guidance with strong research foundations. It also introduces differentiation strategies in phonics instruction and provides support for working with varied English pronunciation models, reflecting the rich linguistic diversity found among children around the world. This highly practical and academically rigorous resource is an essential read for educators guiding young children on the journey towards becoming skilled readers.
