Review

"Filled with activities, ideas, and methods for integrating reading instruction, Chapman and King′s text provides content classrooms with necessary materials for differentiating reading instruction to meet individual student needs. Because a unique vocabulary is inherent in each subject matter, the sections on vocabulary development and enhancement are particularly helpful for classrooms in any content area.” (Anita Price Davis, Retired Professor of Education 2009-01-20)

“Offers best practices for before, during, and after reading to improve comprehension, great ideas for assessing vocabulary knowledge as well as various ways to teach vocabulary, and excellent ideas and activities to help with interventions for RTI.” (Coleen Martin, Fifth-Grade Teacher 2009-01-20)

"Finally, someone has put into print a book that explains the exact process of teaching reading. The book offers information on the set up of the room, the literacy centers, large-group instruction, sample lessons, the four-block system, guiding reading, small-group instruction, teaching strategies, and the components of reading. It is all in there. This book is a must-have, teacher-friendly tool for helping teachers understand the process of being great reading teachers!" (Linda Prichard, PreK/Fifth-Grade Instructional Specialist 2009-01-26)
