With its balanced approach to reading instruction, Reading and Learning to Read, 5/e, remains a comprehensive, active learning tool that encourages students to teach reading in ways that are both meaningful and reflective. Rather than emphasizing a traditional skills-based approach, this book focuses on teaching skills within a meaning-centered approach. This includes an emphasis on literature-based reading instruction, the integration of technology into the teaching of reading, and the integration of reading and writing instruction. This book continues to promote a contemporary, balanced approach to teaching reading and writing with a renewed emphasis on integrating technology, accommodating the needs of diverse learners, and teaching the middle school young adolescent. Given the increasingly focused interest on literacy standards in the teaching of reading world-wide, this edition also highlights practical examples and references that exemplify the International Reading Associations Standards for Reading Professionals. User friendly marginal icons highlight each of these new features, making them easy to locate for classroom discussion. Additionally, this updated edition features a new section in each chapter that discusses pertinent issues regarding struggling with readers, a recurring concern of classroom teachers. Web sites are also included at the end of each chapter that direct the reader to online practical resources on a variety topics. Designed for anyone interested in elementary reading methods, reading in the elementary school, and developmental reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great resource for future teachers or parents!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reading and Learning to Read (4th Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is written very well and is very informative. I found this book to be a great tool for teachers. I read this book for a class and I felt that it kept my interest and made for easy reading material. This book provides parents and/or teachers with insight on how to help children learn to read. This book also includes many great activities and strategies to use to strengthen and encourage literacy (no matter what age the student is). I have tested many of the activities on students myself, and found that it made teaching and learning to read more enjoyable for everyone involved. Overall, I thought this book was great. I plan on keeping it as a resource in my classroom or even in my own home.

Excellent Reading Instruction Beginners Book,
By "burtonk3" (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reading and Learning to Read (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
This is one of the most comprehensive and interesting books I had ever come across in my educational career. The authors not only teach the basics of reading instruction, but put forth a plethora of differing strategies/methods for application in the elementary and middle grade classrooms.

Excellent resource for educators and parents,
This review is from: Reading and Learning to Read (with MyEducationLab) (7th Edition) (Hardcover)
I had to read this for one of my graduate courses and found it be filled with excellent strategies for implementing successful reading instruction in the classroom. The issues covered provide insights into reading methodologies, research into reading instruction and methods that have proven useful in promoting reading instruction in the classroom context as well as factors for successful reading outcomes. The language used in the textbook is accessible and easy to understand. This is a great reading resource for both teachers and parents.
