This concise yet comprehensive book presents proven, evidence-based practices for reading instruction in readily accessible language. With a clear and well-organized format ideal for regular referencing, Evidence-Based Reading Instruction for ALL Learners highlights the practical applications over emphasizing specific theories.
Perfect for use as a supplement and useful for instructing teachers who work at all grade levels, this first edition text covers research and practice regarding all five critical aspects of early reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Unlike most books about reading that might bog down techniques with theory, this book simply presents the rationale for teaching skills in these areas and how to teach students to be competent in each of them.
