Instructing Students Who Have Literacy Problems has long been
valued because it covers both assessment and instructional
strategies in a sound, research-based format. It reflects a
balanced view of literacy instruction, comprehensively examining
both word study and comprehension. It is the definitive
research-based book on assessment and instruction of struggling
readers. Four complete chapters on formal and informal assessment,
plus chapters on instructional interventions, including reading
instruction for special populations, allow professors the option of
using the book for one inclusive course, or, using it across two
courses in those universities where diagnosis and instruction are
taught separately. Many case studies of students, as well as
vignettes of teachers in action, illustrate real-world applications
of the textbook content. There are practical strategies suggested
in the text for both elementary and secondary students and for
students from a variety of language backgrounds. This valuable book
will successfully guide teachers so they can best help students who
have reading difficulties - difficulties of all types and at all
levels of severity.
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.
