THESE GUIDELINES WERE DEVELOPED AT THE BELLEVUE, NEBRASKA, PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO ANSWER THE REQUESTS OF UPPER ELEMENTARY TEACHERS FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ELEMENTS OF THE PHONETIC APPROACH IN THE TEACHING OF READING. THE BOOKLET INCLUDES NOT ONLY THOSE SKILLS TO BE INTRODUCED FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE FIFTH- AND SIXTH-GRADE LEVELS, BUT ALSO SKILLS WHICH MAY NEED TO BE REVIEWED. CHECKLISTS FOR OTHER READING SKILLS SUCH AS COMPREHENSION, ORAL READING, AND STUDY SKILLS ARE INCLUDED. (RH)
