Reading and Teaching raises questions and provides a context for
preservice and practicing teachers to understand and to reflect on
the complex issues surrounding the teaching of reading in the
schools. It presents real teachers in their classrooms, dialogues
about that teaching, and exercises for further clarification. The
purpose is to help teachers make informed choices about their
teaching of reading. The text considers the different types of
decisions teachers might make in the teaching of reading and the
knowledge upon which they rely in making those decisions-not simply
factual information about using certain materials and methods to
teach reading, but also knowledge about the mind, the political
climate, the broader social and cultural circumstances of their
students and schools and the communities in which they teach.
Reading and Teaching is designed to engage teachers in beginning to
evolve their own practical theories, to help them explore and
perhaps modify some basic beliefs and assumptions, and to become
acquainted with other points of view. Readers are encouraged to
interact with the text and to develop their own perspective on the
teaching of reading. This is the fifth volume in Reflective
Teaching and the Social Conditions of Schooling: A Series for
Prospective and Practicing Teachers, edited by Daniel P. Liston and
Kenneth M. Zeichner. It follows the same format as previous volumes
in the series. *Part I includes four real-life cases of teachers'
experiences in the classroom: "Teaching Reading Via Direct
Systematic Instruction"; "A New Teacher Learns About Teaching
Reading and Culture"; "A Teacher-Constructed Whole Language
Program"; and "Critical Literacy in an Urban Middle School." Each
case is followed by space for readers to write their own reactions
and reflections, educators' dialogue about the case, space for
readers' reactions to the educators' dialogue, and a summary and
additional questions. *Part II presents three public arguments
representing different views about the teaching of reading: direct
instruction, whole language, and critical literacy. *Part III
offers the authors' own interpretations of the issues raised
throughout the text and some suggestions for further reflection. A
list of resources is provided. This text is pertinent for all
prospective and practicing teachers at any stage in their teaching
careers. It can be used in any undergraduate or graduate course
that addresses the teaching of reading.
