Teaching Reading in Today's Elementary Schools (Twelfth edition)

TEACHING READING IN TODAYS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS sets the standard for reading instruction to ensure that you are able to help your students learn mechanics of word recognition, how to comprehend what they read -- and enjoy the process.

The book advocates a balanced approach to reading, presenting newer approaches to reading with more traditional approaches that have proven value, such as phonics, vocabulary instruction, and strategies to improve literal and higher-order comprehension.

The twelfth edition includes discussion of the latest technology for literacy learning, recent movements in literacy assessment and standards that must be met, and information about guided reading and close reading techniques with appropriate texts.

Praxis, CCSS, and edTPA assistance is incorporated throughout.
