In this updated edition of the landmark study on early reading, the authors place the story within the context of subsequent developments in reading research and assessment practices. Teachers as co-investigators and everyday classroom events remain at the heart of this classic book.
Harvard Educational Review said of the First Edition…
"Casts a new light on early instruction in reading….These useful insights and theories about beginning reading have implications that go beyond research.…(they) have practical implications for teaching as well."
