Reading is a fundamental skill that is the foundation for academic achievement and 'real-world' success. Now in a significantly updated, revised and expanded second addition, "Teaching Reading Sources continues to be a core instruction manual for classroom teachers and administrators charged with the creation and implementation of reading instruction curriculums. A part of the 'Core Literacy Library', "Teaching Reading Sourcebook" begins with an introductory overview to assessing reading levels and instruction, then comprehensively addresses the issues of word structure (both English and Spanish); print awareness; letter knowledge; and phonemic awareness. The section focusing on decoding and word study includes chapters on phonics, irregular word reading, and multisyllabic word reading. Additional sections address reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Of special note is the section 'Comprehensive Reading Model' offering a three-tier model of instruction. Enhanced with the inclusion of sample tests, activity masters, and teaching charts, "Teaching Reading Sourcebook" also features a 'Connect to Theory Answer Key', extensive references, and a comprehensive index. With this new edition providing reproducible activity masters and sample lesson models, "Teaching Reading Sourcebook" is a strongly recommended addition to professional, school district, and academic library Reading Instruction reference collections.

This is a great tool for new and student teachers. Provides invaluable information regarding teaching reading to all elementary grade levels. A must have for any teachers library of resources.

This book is one of only four textbooks judged acceptable for a reading course by the National Council on Teacher Quality. It is science based, with clear statements of what, when, why and how to teach. Reproducible reading texts, activity masters and teaching charts are included. Research-based best practices are carefully described for each component of reading instruction, from print awareness to comprehension. Lesson models of explicit instruction include sample teaching scripts and examples of corrective feedback. This is an outstanding book for anyone who wants to learn the science of reading.

I call this book my big bad everything for teaching reading book. In addition to summing up research and the why's behind practice, this book presents practical lesson plans to implement research based practices.

I strongly recommend it for all teachers of reading.

I purchased this book from the advice of a professor and she was brilliant. It is all you need to teach reading or to become a proactive educator. The way it is broken down it is easy to read and use daily. It gives specific strategies that you can use step by step to help students with phonics, fluency, comprehension and more. Why more educators are not using it is beyond me. Read it on your day off and become a more proficient teacher. I use it daily in my class and can see the work in action. Love it!!

This book is great! It has a lot of good tips for teachers and specific multisensory strategies for teaching students using explicit instruction.

This is a book all teachers of reading should have. It's takes you through the basics of reading and provides ideas for lessons.

I used this to study for the Massachusetts Foundations of Reading MTEL. It is very easy to understand and I plan on using it in my classroom as well.

Excellent source of information and material. Good for teachers in any elementary level who need some reminders of the reading level assessments and provides actual assessment tools.
