This book is written to enhance the possibilities of uncovering new
ways to teach reading. This book, is addressing how teachers,
college professors, community leaders, community business owners,
officials and parent's should encourage and challenge their local
school and local board of education to utilize the absolute best
methods available to teach our children how to read. In the United
States alone our children are completing Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd
Grade and some even 3rd Grade, and these children are not able to
read. Parents are expected to present inquiries to their child's
teachers, school officials, and educational experts to design a
learning method to improve our current system of teaching reading.
The message, research and the structure of this book was written to
encourage all parents, educators and school officials to think
about "What If" there was a better and more effective way to teach
a child how to read? Would you take on that challenge of giving a
child the "Gift" of learning how to read? No matter the cost Do you
spend your days working with students who struggle to comprehend
reading in literacy and content classes? Are you looking for a
better way to establish comprehensive literacy of instruction in
your school, classroom or home so all students receive support in
becoming a competent and confident reader? Hopefully, some readers
will have more use for the practical strategies and/or perhaps some
educators will want to have this book for their classroom and
personal use.
This new edition of Nelson English continues to provide an

vocabulary. The write-in Workbooks allow children to consolidate

Reading Across International Boundaries, edited by Roger Openshaw
and Janet Soler, clearly demonstrates these broader characteristics
of debates about the teaching of reading. It sets the educational
issues firmly in the context of the social, cultural and political
dynamics that inform and animate them and give them their meaning.
It does so by setting out to understand their historical and
comparative dimensions. Establishing the historical context
highlights the origins and also the longevity of the problems and
conflicts that are now widely familiar. The comparative approach
also gives purchase on the wide range of approaches taken to these
issues in nations around the world. More than this, however, this
collection takes us into the realm of international influences. It
underlines how debates in this area are not simply national, but
are international and global in their scale. Moreover this is the
case not only in relation to the broad fabric of policy debate, but
also in the everyday struggles of pupils, parents and teachers in
schools, classrooms and homes. Such an agenda is unsettling and
provocative.It has the potential to challenge received opinion, to
hustle preconceptions. It may also propose alternative visions for
the improvement of teaching in this area that might be taken up and
taken seriously in different localities or even more broadly. Most
of all, it enables us to enrich and broaden our understanding of
the learning and the teaching of reading at a time when awareness
and vision are sorely needed. This collection of articles by
leading scholars based in several different countries will be a
significant contribution to the research field, but also a major
resource when put to good use by policy makers and practitioners,
as it should surely be.
