EDITORIAL REVIEW

This accessible text provides an extensive survey of the major theories and models that influence reading instruction and research. Readers learn why theory matters in designing and implementing high-quality instruction; how to critically evaluate the assumptions and beliefs that guide their own work with students; and the benefits of approaching everyday teaching situations from multiple theoretical perspectives. Every chapter features classroom application activities and illuminating teaching vignettes. Of particular utility to graduate students, the book also addresses research applications, including descriptions of exemplary studies informed by each theoretical model.

This book is an excellent resource for educators, reading specialists or literacy coaches. It presents background and information on reading theories and also presents authentic anecdotes from teachers. What I especially liked about the book is the classroom application section which gives you practical information regarding instructional strategies to use in the classroom. Well-written and easy to understand.

Excellent!

If you are unsure about the history of theories in reading, or how the theories apply to both practice and research, this is the book for you.

It is a very informative book. Not just for teachers but as a parent I feel it would be a great tool to help children in the processes of reading and also to understand how the brain works.
