Product description

Review

"This book provides the appropriate research to be effective with both those in the field and those preparing to teach. It is set up to model effective instruction and provides examples of the skills taught using real literature." "I will describe this as a text that we need to consider very seriously as we "beef up" how our three literacy courses prepare our students for the Common Core Standards, and teaching reading and writing together. The underlying philosophy I find in the writing chapter is right on target for a text that I would choose! This is a current, timely text."

National Council on Teacher Quality
5.0 out of 5 stars Covers all five key components of early reading instruction
Reviewed in the United States on 7 February 2018
Verified Purchase
According to the expert reviewers at the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), this textbook does a good job comprehensively addressing the five key components of early reading instruction (phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension) for future elementary teachers. We recommend it!

- Covers all five key components of early reading instruction
- Includes activities for the pre-service teacher
- Some of the language used usually relates to whole language (construct meaning, best practices, balanced literacy)
- As a core text, may require supplements
- Very good bibliography

NCTQ is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit research and policy organization that is committed to ensuring that every child has access to effective teachers and every teacher has the opportunity to become effective. We conduct research to assist states, districts, and teacher prep programs with teacher quality issues. We don’t just call attention to what's wrong, but offer concrete solutions to help solve teacher quality challenges. Pointing out good and bad textbooks used in teacher preparation in reading is one such solution.
