EDITORIAL REVIEW

    Miscue analysis has long been the instrument of choice for knowledgeable researchers working to understand the quality of student errors in reading. Now Sandra has put this remarkable tool into the hands of all classroom teachers. This little jewel of a book gives teachers a humane and respectful tool for understanding readers and the teaching of reading
    - Lucy Calkins
    Wilde offers teachers commonsense strategies to further the development of their students as readers.
    - Professionally Speaking
Understanding what students do when they read, and then helping them take the next step, can be easy for an informed teacher. For Sandra Wilde, the key is to focus on the strengths students bring to the process and build from there. With Miscue Analysis Made Easy, Wilde leads the way, offering a lucid, commonsense explanation of what exactly reading is and how it works.

Beginning with a series of lively, interactive exercises Miscue Analysis Made Easy leads us through the thinking processes and linguistic systems that readers use to build their understanding of text. Through a careful review of these systems, we then learn to assess what readers can do. An easy-to-use, step-by-step diagnostic procedure, including a thoughtful retelling guide, helps us to identify and then maximize the student's specific strengths. Wilde also offers ideas on how to help students develop the self-monitoring strategies they need to keep track of their own meaning-making process as they read.

Easy To Read!

This book is easy to read and provides so many examples that it is very difficult to get lost or behind. Wilde really tries to simplify the topic and I find the whole Miscue Analysis topic in general fascinating.

great text for getting to know readers!

Sandra Wilde has taken the work of Goodman, Watson, and Burke, and made it more accessible to undergrads, graduate students, and practicing teachers alike. She walks you through the reading process, the cueing systems, misuce analysis, and instructional implications for various "types" of readers. I highly recommend this text to those teaching pre-service and/or practicing teachers how to get to know readers, particularly those who struggle with text.
