Fifty award-winning literacy educators contribute more than thirty-five
"engagements"-student-focused, classroom-tested instructional
and assessment actions-to strengthen the reader in every child,
while reinforcing one essential fact: reading involves constructing
meaning. The book is organized in a four-part framework:
Knowing Reading, Knowing Readers, Engaging Readers, and Knowing
the Language to Use.


This is a reading handbook
of great import. Divided into four sections: Knowing Reading;
Knowing Readers; Engaging Readers; and Knowing the Language to
Use, this book has everything a practitioner needs to become an
expert reading teacher.
