Teaching Reading Sourcebook (Core Literacy Library)

A best-selling, research-based guide to effective reading instruction, the Teaching Reading Sourcebook has always supported educators in bridging the gap between evidence-based reading research and actionable instructional strategies. Now the Sourcebook also supports educators efforts in understanding, transitioning to, unpacking, and implementing the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. In the Updated Second Edition, new features seamlessly connect and clarify the Sourcebook's alignment to the Common Core.

Common Core has not changed the essential components of reading instruction. That's why the Teaching Reading Sourcebook is still the ultimate guide for improving reading achievement. The Updated Second Edition includes:

New Common Core information, cross-references, and graphic explanations

Explicit coverage (what? why? when? and how?) of the five essential components of reading instruction

Sample lesson models and resources to easily implement best practices
