An Essential History of Current Reading Practices describes the key
research and trends that have informed, shaped, and given direction
to reading education over the last half-century. This volume -
penned by some of the best-known experts in the field - can
familiarize any educator, from novice to expert, with the complex
nature of teaching reading. It also can provide readers a starting
point for examining particular topics in depth. The contributors
review landmark research from the middle of the 20th century
through today, highlighting political and social pressures that
have influenced research, policy, and classroom practice. Eleven
chapters explore the historical underpinnings of the reading
process, phonics, family literacy, guided reading, comprehension,
fluency, content area reading, children's literature, remedial and
clinical reading, vocabulary and spelling, and teacher education
and professional development. To provide readers with a jump-off
point for further study, each chapter presents questions for future
research as well as Essential Readings resource lists. The author
invites you into a deep understanding of each topic. You will gain
perspective, ground your own work, and come to appreciate the rich,
varied interpretations of these areas of reading.
