Good Teaching: An Integrated Approach to Language, Literacy, and Learning

With Integrating reading and the language arts, the authors provided a lucid description of the theory and practice of an effective literacy education. Now, in Good Teaching, Nancy Bertrand and Carole Stice's updated edition, the authors go a step further -- creating both a comprehensive textbook and an authoritative reference.
