Reviews / Votes
This textbook provides the basic foundational knowledge necessary to understand teaching literacy. It is a valuable resource because it can be used for all grade levels. It provides a wealth of knowledge on the foundations of literacy, current issues in education, and a refined focus on assessment and instruction, going in depth with what many feel to be a very intimidating process.The textbook lays out activities and strategies that are considered top-down and bottom-up, therefore covering the whole spectrum to help teachers choose methods for a balanced approach. -- Shawn Lee Coskey, East Stroudsburg University
This book is easy to read, comprehend, and apply. It has a very good overview of assessment, basic reading problems, and adaptive measures. The authors have done an excellent job including the most important topics for an assessment/clinical experience course. Although challenging, it is simplistic in format. Many students would appreciate this as it appears to be the essential "capsule" for intervention. -- Patricia J. Pollifrone, Ph.D., Gannon University
A comprehensive textbook about assessing and working with literacy in the classroom. The text provides wonderful, concrete examples for the classroom, and has quite a few research-to-practice materials for future teachers. The strategies incorporated into this text were very engaging and would help future teachers set up lesson plans for their students. -- Dr. Patricia L. Jones, Tennessee Wesleyan College
