About this ebook
This textbook uses Ehri’s reading phases to explore the fundamental components of word reading to detail a developmental approach to reading instruction that prioritizes the individual reader. Drawing on decades of research, Paige breaks down the science of reading and presents three fundamental concepts to teaching reading effectively:
- Children differ in the rate at which they master reading skills
- A teacher deeply knowledgeable in the fundamentals of reading is irreplaceable
- Awareness that teaching is an art as well as a science
Readers will come away with an up-to-date knowledge of how reading occurs and the skills necessary to implement effective instruction. Chapters address all stages of reading development from early reading instruction to advanced reading development, provide assessment tools, and offer guidance on continuous improvement in literacy instruction. This text is required reading for courses on reading instruction and reading methods.
