Synopsis:

The first part of the volume covers the developmental, environmental, and process views of literacy cultivation. The second part covers the development of fluency, inferential thinking, and comprehension, sight vocabulary, graphophonic awareness, conceptual vocabulary growth, and teacher and student strategies for comprehension. The third part addresses literature, writing, and the new basal programs, while the last part discusses guiding children toward self-assessment, enhancing comprehension and enjoyment, the multicultural, multiability classroom, and management of a classroom literacy program.

More than other books, it includes the best methods for preparing teachers to instill in elementary students the knowledge that reading is more than learning, it's an engaging experience of communicating.
