Teaching Reading in Today's Elementary Schools

by Betty D. Roe

This market-leading text sets the standard for reading instruction to ensure that aspiring teachers are able to help students learn not only how to recognize words, but also how to comprehend what they read--and enjoy the process. The book balances new approaches to reading, such as language arts integration and emergent literacy/literacy as a continuum, with more traditional foundations of strong skills and phonics instruction. Updates to the Eleventh Edition include discussion of the latest technology for literacy learning, how writing instruction impacts literacy learning, and recent movements in literacy assessment.Important Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

Read for my college, course class "Instructional practices for Reading Teachers". This book did give important information for the class I had to take, though I hated the course because it was just horrible.

This was an approachable text with many helpful resources for putting the literacy concepts into practice. It worked well for my Elementary Literacy course. I appreciated the associated Instructor's Manual as this was my first time teaching this subject, and the tests and activities integrated nicely with our Brightspace system.
