Description
A comprehensive treatment of selected aspects of developmental reading. Based on a mastery teaching philosophy and a diagnostic-prescriptive approach, this book relies heavily on the authors' practical experience in working with teachers, principals, and supervisors in many states and in Canada. Separate chapters consider the components of a developmental Reading Program in a class or school, and identify guidelines and principles upon which learning strategies should be based.
Reviews / Votes
The authors have done an excellent job of describing how teachers can get students involved in reading as active rather than passive learners....If teachers would follow even one-half of the principles/guidelines suggested by the authors, the title ofthe book, Preventing Reading Failure, would be realized. -- C.
