Reading instruction that works the case for balanced teaching /

Synopsis

This bestseller demonstrates how effective reading instruction combines aspects of both skills-emphasis and whole language approaches. The second edition has been augmented with new material on phonemic awareness; comprehension problems; decoding and comprehension; vocabulary instruction; development of word knowledge; and "flooding" the classroom with motivation. It also features a new discussion of the place of Reading Recovery within balanced instruction, including an in-depth case study.
