Review: "The ideas provided in this text focus on student-centered activities. Real ideas for practicing and preservice educators!" --Joyce Jeewek, Benedictine University

"Whenever I see Farris and Werderich listed as coauthors, I immediately know the text is worthy of implementing in my language arts methods course. They combine decades of expertise in literacy education and have put together a terrific text that is a rich blend of requisite terminology and concepts along with research-supported, best-practices instruction. Sixth Edition updates reflect current trends focusing on English Language Learners, STEM and STEAM, Response to Intervention, and inclusive classrooms. As in past editions, the anecdotes, student samples, and teaching hints provide an authentic connection for the reader." --Patricia L. Rieman, Carthage College
