Improving classroom reading instruction: A decision-making approach

by Gerald G. Duffy

This is a core text for the Elementary Reading Methods course, sometimes referred to as Developmental Reading. It is distinguished by its heavy emphasis on reading instruction. Most reading texts are organized around what research says about learning to read. Improving Classroom Reading Instruction focuses more on teaching, i.e., on how teachers think and act in order to help students achieve literacy (the ability to read and write).
