Since its publication in 2000, Speech to Print has become one of the most popular, highly regarded, and influential textbooks available on literacy instruction. In this third edition, Louisa Cook Moats explains why effective language arts instruction must be informed by a deep understanding of spoken and written English.
For two decades, Speech to Print has been a bestselling, widely adopted textbook on explicit, high-quality literacy instruction. Now the anticipated third edition is here, fully updated with ten years of new research, a complete package of supporting materials, and expanded guidance on the how of assessment and instruction in today's classrooms.
Filling a critical gap in teacher preparation courses, Speech to Print supplies K-12 educators with in-depth knowledge of the structure and function of language-fundamentals they need to deliver successful structured literacy instruction. Renowned literacy expert Louisa Cook Moats gives current and future teachers comprehensive, accurate, and accessible information on the underpinnings of language instruction, including:
- the history of the English language and its effect on spelling
- English phonology, including speech sounds and their distinctive features
- how print represents speech in English
- the morphological aspects of words
- syntax and its instruction
- how meaning is conveyed with language
Through case studies, activities, recommended teaching principles, and close analysis of real-world student work samples, teachers will also receive invaluable insight into how their students should be taught. Ideal for use in pre-service courses and in-service professional development sessions, this essential textbook will give educators the strong foundation they need to teach language and reading skills to students with and without disabilities.
WHAT'S NEW:
- New and expanded practical content on the how of language and reading instruction
- New and updated chapter exercises
- New faculty support materials
- More on key topics like program and curricula selection, frameworks for instructional planning, and problem solving when students are slow to respond to intervention
- More accessible, undergraduate-friendly tone and structure
- Additional graphics to illustrate key concepts

About the Author: Dr Louisa Moats has been a teacher, psychologist, researcher, graduate school faculty member, consultant, and author of many influential scientific journal articles, books, and policy papers on the topics of reading, spelling, language, and teacher preparation. She earned her bachelor of arts degree from Wellesley College, her master's degree at Peabody College of Vanderbilt, and her doctorate in reading and human development from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She began her professional career as a neuropsychology technician, teacher of students with learning disabilities, curriculum director in a residential school, and education specialist in a hospital learning clinic. After completing her doctorate, she spent 15 years in private practice as a licensed psychologist in Vermont, specializing in evaluation and consultation with individuals of all ages who experienced learning problems in reading and language. Subsequently, she was employed as the Visiting Scholar in the Sacramento County Office of Education, where she helped obtain a 1 million dollar grant to write teacher training materials for California's reading initiative.Dr. Moats spent the next 4 years as site director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Early Interventions Project in Washington, D.C. This longitudinal, large-scale project was conducted through a grant to the University of Texas, Houston, under the direction of Barbara Foorman. It investigated the causes and remedies for reading failure in high-poverty urban schools. Evidence from the study strongly supported the value of in-depth training for teachers on the essential components of effective instruction. During the last two decades, Dr. Moats has focused her efforts on developing courses and workshops for teachers based on her experiences at the Greenwood Institute in Vermont, St. Michael's College in Vermont, the NICHD Early Interventions Project in Washington, DC, the California Reading Initiative, and Reading First. Those professional development materials are called LETRS: Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling, published by Voyager Sopris Learning. Dr. Moats' other publications include, in addition to many journal articles, Spelling: Development, Disability, and Instruction (York Press/PRO-ED, 1995); Straight Talk About Reading: How Parents Can Make a Difference During the Early Years (with Susan Hall; Contemporary Books, 1999); Parenting a Struggling Reader: A Guide to Diagnosing and Finding Help for Your Child's Reading Difficulties (with Susan Hall; Broadway, 2002); Basic Facts About Dyslexia and Other Reading Problems (with Karen Dakin; International Dyslexia Association, 2007). She is also well known for authoring the American Federation of Teachers' (1999) Teaching Reading Is Rocket Science: What Expert Teachers of Reading Should Know and Be Able to Do.Dr. Moats' awards include the prestigious Samuel T. and June L. Orton award from the International Dyslexia Association for outstanding contributions to the field; the Eminent Researcher Award from Learning Disabilities Australia; and the Benita Blachman award from the Reading League.
