A joint effort from three thought leaders in educational research,
linguistics, and literacy acquisition, this book explores the
latest research that shows that compelling comprehensive input
(CCI) is the baseline for all language and literacy development. It
has been established that encouraging reading at all student levels
supports literacy-not just literacy in terms of having basic
reading and writing abilities, but in being able to perform
advanced reading as well as having well-developed listening,
speaking, and critical thinking skills. But what kind of reading
has the most benefit for young learners? And why? Comprehensible
and Compelling: The Causes and Effects of Free Voluntary Reading
examines the most recent research and literacy testing results from
around the world that document how reading materials must be
comprehensible and compelling to bring success. It also presents
research findings that show how libraries directly support literacy
development, providing arguments and proof that will be invaluable
in advocacy efforts for funding and program development. Addresses
and interprets current international research on literacy
development Documents the value of libraries in providing access
for literacy development Provides compelling research-based
arguments for reading aloud, free voluntary reading, and reading to
one's strengths Identifies and explains the three stages in the
development of the highest level of literacy: hearing stories,
self-selected recreational reading, and specialized reading in an
area of deep personal interest
