Most children learn to read, irrespective of the method of
instruction. Yet up to a fifth of children struggle with reading in
their first few years at school. Unfortunately, those who struggle
in the early years will continue to struggle throughout their
school career.Yola Center offers a systematic, research-based guide
to teaching reading in the first three years of school. Her aim is
to ensure that teachers can work with at-risk or reluctant readers
in the regular classroom as effectively as with children for whom
reading seems to come naturally.Taking an analytic approach to
reading, Beginning Reading shows how children can be moved through
the key stages of early reading acquisition. Each chapter includes
an overview of relevant research, practical classroom strategies
and guidelines for lesson planning. Center adopts a balanced view
of reading instruction, stressing the importance of phonological
processes at the beginning of literacy instruction, as well as
semantic and syntactic ones. This supports at risk children in
regular classrooms, who are provided with the maximum opportunity
to develop the accurate and fluent word recognition skills that are
needed in order to extract meaning from print. At last! A book that
combines an overview of recent research findings and their
implications for the teaching of reading with sensible and
practical suggestions for classroom teachers.'Morag Stuart,
Professor in the Psychology of Reading, University of London This
is an excellent book. It comprehensively reviews the research
literature and shows how to apply it to the nuts and bolts of
teaching reading in the first few years of school. It is a
must-read for teachers.'Professor Tom Nicholson, University of
Auckland, New Zealand This is the book that we have all been
waiting for. It is the only book that I have seen that focuses on a
theoretically sound approach to the teaching of reading with a
focus on children who experience difficulties in the regular
classroom.' Ruth Fielding-Barnsley, Queensland University of
Technology It is indeed rare when a reading scientist can explain
the intricacies of reading development, reading difficulties, and
reading instruction with such clarity and comprehensiveness. Most
importantly, Dr Center provides a masterful synthesis of the most
current converging scientific evidence available that defines what
research-based reading instruction is all about.'G. Reid Lyon, PhD,
National Institutes of Health, USA
