Description

Appropriate for courses in Elementary Reading Methods. It may be especially useful in courses with block curriculum where several smaller texts are used covering many topics.Written from the understanding that no single methodology or philosophy can be the solution to teaching reading to all children, this text assumes a balanced, whole-part-whole approach to teaching reading and writing. It is written in a flexible format allowing for customizing, and use for all grade levels. Each chapter follows a consistent outline, first describing the theory behind how children learn to read and write and second offering activities and strategies that help to teach the skill.
