Book Description Expanding the book's critical literacy theme, this edition emphasizes a full, balanced range of knowledge and skills for teaching reading to all learners. Informed by the latest research on topics ranging from phonemic awareness and phonics to reader response and teaching for understanding, the book gives teachers the knowledge and skills to successfully guide elementary students toward critical literacy - the use of reading and writing to think clearly, solve problems, and communicate effectively. The content is rich in first-person accounts, classroom vignettes, and hands-on literacy activities. Some principal themes include: balancing skills instruction and more holistic approaches; fostering the love of reading; using reader response theory to enhance reading instruction; and successfully teaching all students to become able and eager readers. For teachers of elementary reading methods. | ||

Excellent resource for teaching reading! This book is extremely comprehensive and contains plenty of examples to guide your reading isntruction. There are three "Day in the Lives" excerpts which demonstrate good reading practices and plenty of research based principles which support reading instruction. I found the book easy to read and easy to reference when adopting or modifying existing reading instruction. There are numerous examples of teaching reading to diverse students which will assist with our current and future student populations. | ||
Teaching Reading in the 21st Century Great Product....fast shipping...definately do business again!! THANK YOU | ||
Wrong ISBN The book is ok, but if you are buying it as a textbook for a college course, check the ISBN. There are two versions of the same edition of this book (the 3rd). One comes with and online web registration packet. If your prof asks that you have the packet and you get the wrong ISBN, it is $40, plus whatever you paid for the book in the first place. I was only told the title and edition to get, not the ISBN, so I was stuck paying $110 total for the book and then the packet. Sweet. | ||
So, you want to teach reading to the small fry, 'eh? I was introduced to this book as one of the requirements in a reading endorsement course that I am presently taking. As a veteran teacher of twenty-nine years, I am on the downside of the profession, preparing for retirement in about five years. However, I am always welcome to new methodology or better adaptations of tested strategies. This book is a concise and informative collection of skills to assist the emerging teaching as well as the one with years under his/her belt. Current psychological trends in the teaching of reading provide essential information for parents and teachers alike. Featuring chapters that reinforce each other as well as real-life vignettes from people in the field, the book is a worthy addition to any teacher's library. Outstanding tables, charts, diagrams, photos, and illustrations enhance the meaningful text. Also, the supplemental "Assessment and Lesson Plans" booklet is a great bonus. I find it to be one of the best teaching tools that I have had and highly recommend it to others. | ||
