About this title

Synopsis

Based on the latest guidelines from the National Reading Panel, this practical guide to teaching reading uses the "direct instruction reading approach, " a proven program that's especially powerful with the most vulnerable of learners--those at risk because of poverty, disability, and/or a limited command of English. The emphasis is on inclusion, which uses language and demonstrations understood by all children. Nationally known and respected authors don't simply list method after method; rather, they provide a specific repertoire of carefully sequenced procedures that teach decoding, comprehension, content reading, and study skills. Strategies are recommended for each skill to be mastered; discussions of optimal timing and error correction, along with numerous examples, are included. In addition, the authors carefully and thoughtfully examine the relationships among different reading skills. For educators who need a thoughtful, sensitive, and informative book that will enhance their ability to teach reading, to any student in any context.

From the Publisher

This is an excellent guide for learning about the Direct Instruction method that is gaining wide attention as part of a balanced approach to reading instruction . . . with its wealth of carefully sequenced, highly-prescriptive procedures for teaching decoding, comprehension, content, and study skills. Rather than merely "list" ways to teach reading skills, the Direct Instructional Reading method this text recommends, discusses when a skill should be taught, what examples to teach, how to correct errors, and the relationship among different reading skills.
