Synopsis

"Expanding the book's critical literacy theme, this edition emphasizes a full, balanced range of knowledge and skills for teaching reading to all learners." Informed by the latest research on topics ranging from phonemic awareness and phonics to reader response and teaching for understanding, the book gives teachers the knowledge and skills to successfully guide elementary students toward critical literacy - the use of reading and writing to think clearly, solve problems, and communicate effectively. The content is rich in first-person accounts, classroom vignettes, and hands-on literacy activities. Some principal themes include: balancing skills instruction and more holistic approaches; fostering the love of reading; using reader response theory to enhance reading instruction; and successfully teaching all students to become able and eager readers." For teachers of elementary reading methods.

About the Fourth Edition:

 

With new chapters on fluency and motivation, the Fourth Edition of Teaching Reading in the 21st Century maintains the friendly voice of its widely recognized author team and its superior coverage of assessment for learning, and strengthens its commitment to a rich, balanced, and comprehensive program of reading instruction. Always practical, this edition is even richer in first-person accounts, instructional routines, classroom vignettes, and hands-on literacy activities.

 

One reviewer sums it up:

 

In a perfect number of chapters for a typical college semester, Graves et al. carefully cover such incredibly important concepts as the complex, recursive nature of reading and writing, the special considerations... for English language learners, and the intricacies of grouping learners. Countless professors will appreciate the ways in which the authors highlight and consistently interweave such vital notions as metacognition, scaffolding, the gradual release of responsibility model, and reciprocal teaching. Perhaps my favorite part of the text is that there is not just one, but two excellent chapters on comprehension.
