About this title

Synopsis

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."
