Review
"This is a valuable resource that should be in the hands of educators looking for tools and strategies to successfully implement independent reading in school and improve students' access to books. The authors have achieved just the right balance of practical examples and research-based information." - Jodi Dodds Kinner, Director of Elementary Literacy, Chicago Public Schools, USA "An amazing primer on solid, effective reading instruction. It provides the framework and justification for instructional practice that acknowledges the value of reading when learning to read. This book will have significant value for a broad audience, including inservice and preservice teachers, curriculum developers, and administrators. If I were asked to recommend one book on how to teach reading, this would be my pick." - Bonnie C. Wilkerson, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment (retired), Northbrook School District 27, Northbrook, Illinois, USA "A 'must read' for teachers and preservice candidates. The book describes how to incorporate independent reading and the joy of reading self-selected texts into a balanced literacy program. The chapter on assessment and monitoring issues will become required reading in my undergraduate reading methods course." - Kimberly McDowell, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, Wichita State University, USA
