Publisher's Synopsis
Fifty award-winning literacy educators contribute more than thirty-five "engagements"-student-focused, classroom-tested instructional and assessment actions-to strengthen the reader in every child, while reinforcing one essential fact: reading involves constructing meaning. The book is organized in a four-part framework: Knowing Reading, Knowing Readers, Engaging Readers, and Knowing the Language to Use.
This is a reading handbook of great import. Divided into four sections: Knowing Reading; Knowing Readers; Engaging Readers; and Knowing the Language to Use, this book has everything a practitioner needs to become an expert reading teacher.
