This highly practical book helps K-8 teachers implement effective
reading interventions that support meaningful comprehension and
engage students with interesting, age-appropriate texts. Andrew P.
Johnson presents a range of strategies for addressing difficulties
in the core areas of word identification, fluency, and
comprehension. Packed with illustrative figures, the book provides
guidance and tools for assessing reading problems, combining and
adapting interventions for particular students, planning writing
activities to enhance reading, aligning efforts within a
response-to-intervention framework, and designing individualized
education programs. Informed by current research, Johnson candidly
targets "educational malpractice" and helps readers puzzle through
the controversies surrounding dyslexia diagnoses and special
education decision making.

This is an educational psychology book that focuses on human
development, the human being, teaching, and learning. It is
appropriate for preservice teachers who are seeking to comprehend
essential theories and concepts in educational psychology. It is
also appropriate for practicing teachers who want to understand and
apply these theories and concepts at increasingly higher levels. As
well, it can be used by decision-makers or anybody else who wants
to better understand human development, human beings, human
learning, and educational processes. Besides the traditional topics
related to human development and learning found in most educational
psychology textbooks, this book describes topics that are typically
not addressed. These topics include mental health for children and
adolescents, intuition, an evolutionary perspective on emotions,
poverty, disability and race, systemic racism, critical race
theory, culturally responsive teaching, teacher reflection,
language learning and reading instruction, and a complete
discussion of teacher professionalism, dispositions, and
attributes. These are topics that are worthy of our attention, and
they will move you forward in your understanding of the human
beings whom you teach.
Research-based theories provide the basis for good decision-making
in education. As well, teacher effectiveness and student learning
are enhanced when research-based theories are used to design
curriculum and daily lessons. This book examines human learning in
the context of four types of research-based learning theories:
neurological learning theories, behavioral learning theories,
cognitive learning theories, and transformative learning theories.
With each theory, the basic elements are described along with
specific classroom applications. The writing style makes these
concepts readily accessible to readers of all levels of experience
and expertise. This book is appropriate for preservice teachers who
are seeking to comprehend the basic ideas behind these theories. It
is appropriate for practicing teachers who want to understand and
apply these theories at increasingly higher levels. It is also
appropriate for decision-makers or anybody else who wants to
understand human learning and educational processes. This book ends
with a description of lesson planning that is set in the various
theoretical contexts and includes a guide for defining an
educational philosophy.

This book provides a foundation and framework to enhance your
understanding of the various processes involved in academic
writing. The term, academic writing, here refers to the types of
writing used in college level writing courses at both the
undergraduate and graduate level. However, this book was not
written simply to help you pass another English class or to get you
through the next writing intensive course (although it will
certainly do that). At some point you will be out in the real world
(hopefully). Thus, the purpose of this book is to enable you to be
an effective writer and thinker in all contexts including your
personal and professional lives.
