Chapter 5 How Effective Teachers Assist Students in Cracking the Alphabetic Code Teachers teach students to “crack the code” through phonemic awareness, phonics, and spelling instruction. Teachers build on students’ phonemic awareness to teach phonics and spelling. Teachers develop students’ ability to use phonemic awareness, phonics, and spelling strategies. Teachers teach high-utility phonics concepts, rules, phonograms, and spelling patterns. Teachers recognize that students’ spelling errors are a measure of their understanding of phonics.
