Every Child Reading

by Darrell Morris, Robert E. Slavin

After defining the problem of early reading failure in our schools, renowned authors Robert Slavin and Darrell Morris include chapters on effective classroom reading instruction for kindergarten and first grade, one-on-one tutorial instruction, and reading instruction strategically organized on a school-wide basis. Taking a developmental position, the authors describe specific assessment, instructional, and management procedures that will be useful to both in-service and pre-service teachers. The information is practical and detailed, blending classroom-tested pedagogical knowledge with the latest research findings. This text appeals to both teachers working directly with children and administrators who are looking for strategic answers to complex questions about beginning reading instruction.

This is a teacher text that focuses on teaching beginning readers how to read and excel. Darrell Morris does a great job of making the book an easy read for teachers. He not only discusses reading concepts, he also discusses spelling and writing. His spelling inventory is well known and conducted by many teachers inside the classroom.
