Decoding and Encoding English A Handbook for Language Tutors by Dr. Thomas Baldwin Jones might well be termed "A Book for all Linguistic Reasons" since it is as equally appropriate as a college text for introduing new reading teachers to the phonetic-rule basis of English, as an intorduction for the young linguist, as supplementary material for the speech therapist, as a reference in the whole-language classroom, as a vocabulary enhancement for the ACT or SAT test taker, as a parental reference for aiding a child's linguistic development (especially the home schoolers), as a guide for the conscientious student wanting to make independent progress in the language, as a resource for the ambitious adult who just wants to learn more about the nature and structre of English, as a guide for the adult and senior classroom reading help volunteers, as it is for tutors and teachers of students with special language problems.
