Denise Eide, author of Uncovering the Logic of English, helps us understand the logic of English! It actually makes a lot of sense... and can help your students learn to read and spell. 

Takeaways

• English spelling and decoding can be logical and systematic when taught with complete phonics rules.
• All words in English are decodable when the rules are understood.
• Incomplete knowledge of rules can lead to misconceptions and difficulties in reading and spelling.
• Teaching phonics rules explicitly and fostering curiosity can empower students and improve their reading skills.
• Be open about not having all the answers and learn alongside your students.
