From the Back Cover:
More Timely Than Ever...

McGee and Richgels have set the standard in this new edition by clearly and simply explaining the issues addressed in Reading First and Early Reading First legislation that affect the reading instruction of young children. Aligned with the findings of the National Reading Panel, this edition's emphasis focuses on child-centered instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, comprehension, and interpretation. Without a question, this text will be the most talked about resource for prospective teachers of children from birth to age eight.
