Description |
This respected volume delivers solid information on how to teach students to read, based on evidence from a broad spectrum of well-designed research.
Maintaining a balance of theory, research, and effective classroom practice, the 17 chapters discuss early reading instruction, phonemic awareness, comprehension, and many other topics. Each chapter concludes with "Questions for Discussion" to encourage reflection.
The book also comes in a special PD edition designed for use by professional development leaders in school-based learning communities.
