ONE REVIEWER SUMS IT UP!“ I believe it to offer an excellent balance between fundamental concepts guiding reading/language arts instruction and information describing “ hands-on” strategies and techniques. The primary strengths of Reading and Learning to Read are the correlations with IRA Standards, the very colorful andappealing photos and figures in the artwork, the ease of reading, the organization of important information [in boxes and figures], and the handy chapter tools [chapter objectives, headings and subheadings, as well as the Teacher Action Research and the Related Websites]. The focus on Internet resources is up-to-date and relevant. In addition, the Appendices offer valuable resource information … What this text offers in the way of content that was deficient in other texts is the multitude of materials on word identification, building word concepts, and phonics instruction.” Karen Samson, Chicago State University

Reading in the Classroom: Systems for Teaching and Learning
As illustrated by Reading First and other reading initiatives, policymakers and educators are very interested in raising children's literacy rates and ensuring high classroom standards. Classroom observation is one effective method to monitor progress, explain outcomes, and determine best practices for reading instruction. Reading in the Classroom provides detailed discussions of the most current and representative classroom reading observation systems used throughout the United States. This book will aid researchers, policy makers, and curriculum developers in evaluating our current educational system with respect to literacy instruction. The chapters cover a broad range of tools, all of which are specific, field-tested, and reliable. These tools were developed to study a variety of research questions, such as the effectiveness of statewide reading initiatives, the increased incidence of culturally diverse students with learning disabilities, effective teaching strategies for English language learners, methods to record the writing performance of at-risk students, ethnographic classroom observations, and ecobehavioral assessment and analysis strategies.
