Publisher's Synopsis
Use this comprehensive resource to align your instruction with current standards and give your students the best possible foundation for reading achievement. These teaching techniques show you how to foster active, strategic reading by implementing the five essential components of reading instruction identified in the 2000 National Reading Panel report - phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Plus, to help you determine how to best meet students' specific learning styles and reading needs, each technique identifies corresponding multiple intelligences and developmental levels of reading. You also get procedures for modeling the techniques and examples of "teacher talk" questions so you can gradually release responsibility for learning to students and guide them in becoming independent readers.
