This CIERA sponsored book is based on the premise that high-quality
texts of all kinds are essential to good teaching in elementary
classrooms. Experts on a variety of text-related topics were asked
to summarize existing research and then apply it to literacy
development in an "ideal" classroom. The most comprehensive and
up-to-date book in its field, it moves progressively from an
examination of discrete literacy processes and forms to a holistic
overview and assessment of the classroom literacy environment.
Content coverage in this outstanding new book includes:
*Literacy Processes--Part I examines basic reading processes
(instruction, comprehension, word recognition, fluency, and
motivation) as they relate to text features.
*Forms of Texts--Part II examines the wide variety of text types
(fiction, nonfiction, leveled, local, and electronic) that comprise
an effective classroom literacy program. Discussions include the
nature of these texts, their qualities and quantities, how they fit
into an instructional plan, and how a teacher might assess their
effectiveness.
*Text Selection--Part III examines special issues (linguistic
diversity and teachers as censors) related to the selection of
classroom texts.
*Personal Applications--The final, hands-on chapter synthesizes the
book's ideas and offers practical tools (checklists and
inventories) whereby teachers can self-assess the literacy
environment of their own classrooms.
This book is suitable for anyone (graduate students, in-service
reading specialists and curriculum directors, college faculty, and
researchers) who deal directly with issues of classroom literacy.
