Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Main text for undergraduate and graduate courses in Elementary Reading/Literacy Instruction. This is a practical “how to do” book that represents a synthesis of many points of view on how to assess the reading needs of children and to address them with highly effective teacher-tested strategies. Organized around stages of development rather than randomly arranged topics.

About the Book

Unlike other texts that are organized topically, this text addresses such specific topics like word identification and comprehension within the larger framework of literacy development just in time for the new emphasis placed on assessing students based on their developmental stage as dictated by local, state and national standards. Long awaited, this is a practical how to do book that represents a synthesis of many points of view on how to assess the reading needs of children and to address them with highly effective teacher-tested strategies.

What Reviewers Are Saying

The chapters are well written and very organized giving the college students a good sense of the different stages of reading a child goes through as they are growing up. They introduce the students to the new vocabulary (and) are easy to read but thoroughly explain the concepts and reading strategies. The textbook is well written and organized. I find the graphic overview to be very helpful to me as well as the college students. The case studies are excellent. This is what the college students need.׏

I really like how the case studies follow three students throughout the reading stages. These provide students with the chance to gain insight into students at different ability levels in the same developmental stage.
