Editorial Reviews
Review
"The shelves of university libraries and college bookstores are filled with books on beginning reading instruction, but there are few, if any, quality works that address how to teach reading and promote the literacy of middle-grade students. This void has now been filled. Building upon their collective experience and scholarship, Worthy, Broaddus, and Ivey take us on a theoretically based yet pragmatic journey through the intricacies of teaching students who may have acquired fundamental skills in decoding and comprehension but have yet to develop into skillful, willful, mature readers. For college instructors who teach reading methods courses focused on the upper elementary or middle-school levels--or for those simply interested in the unique dynamics of teaching literacy to preadolescents--this is an essential resource. The authors provide the substantive detail needed to teach reading to this oft-neglected group of learners. Preservice students, practicing teachers, and college instructors will find this to be an engaging, informative work." --James F. Baumann, PhD, Department of Reading Education, University of Georgia "This book provides preservice and classroom teachers with a much-needed perspective. Challenging many current instructional practices, the authors clearly demonstrate that middle-level literacy instruction transcends content areas and is the responsibility of all teachers. Central to the text is the deep, essential need for educators to value and honor student voice in reading and writing if literacy growth is to flourish. Teachers will find the book to be a valuable study group tool. Together, they can explore the text, reflect on their own teaching, and discover numerous methods to enhance student engagement and literacy development." --Deborah E. Grove, PhD, Supervisor, Williamsport Area School District, Williamsport, PA "Teachers are going to love this book! It offers rich portraits of real kids doing real reading, and it contains all the information teachers need to develop a successful middle-grade reading program. Including specific strategies, guidelines for implementing them, and needed resources, the book is comprehensive and engaging. The knowledge presented will help both teachers and students develop their skills." --Cathy M. Roller, PhD, Director of Research and Policy, International Reading Association -- Review

"Worthy addresses the issue of reading volume and motivation in this book, and she discusses an issue that a lot of reading researchers overlook--why should kids WANT to read? She offers advice about promoting a desire to read, and infuses strategies that teachers can use to help promote a richer understanding of what they are reading and a better understanding of the relevance of the material that the kids are reading. And she also talks about promoting an interest in reading and writing in a general sense, not just in an academic, classroom sense."--BalancedReading.com
