Technology, Reading and Language Arts

Technology, Reading and Language Arts explores ways in which preservice and inservice teachers can integrate technology into their reading instruction. It is organized around the dominant approaches to literacy instruction, links theory to practice in meaningful ways, and covers "types" of software and electronic resources and their use in the classroom rather than describing hundreds of different programs. This book embraces a solid conceptual framework to reading instruction and will be of particular interest to instructors who prefer constructivist, whole language and language experience approaches to teaching reading. However, direct instruction approaches are also covered in two chapters.
