A comprehensive book that covers everything literacy-related with up-to-date and relevant chapters based on current reading science and research.
This book is ESSENTIAL for literacy educators! It has everything and more! I delayed buying it because of the price, but now I wish I had bought it sooner. It likely would have saved me money as, in the meantime, I bought many other books when I could have gotten all the info right here. I wish this had been my textbook during university.
Each chapter is written by well-respected leaders in the literacy world and is up to date with current Science of Reading research. This book is so research-based - in fact, at the end of each chapter, there are a few pages of resources and references behind the info in the chapter.
Definitely get the 4th edition. The authors indicate that there are quite a few changes and additions based on SOR research, and this edition is much more in line with Structured Literacy than previous editions.
Chapters cover multisensory teaching, structured literacy, pre-reading, alphabet knowledge, phonemic awareness, beginning reading, executive function, decoding, spelling, handwriting, fluency, advanced reading, vocabulary, comprehension, writing and composition, dual language learners, older students, dyslexia, etc. It literally covers it all! Readers are provided the research and information but are also given practical teaching methods and activity suggestions.
The book is very thick and written like a textbook, but the information and writing style are not dry and boring. Since each chapter relates to a specific literacy skill, it can be read cover to cover, or just flip to a chapter that interests you.

I read for school
Really useful explanation and deep dive into structured literacy/science of reading. I have my own reservations about the way legislatures and schools are ignoring or throwing out the DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE component but that is not this book's problem. This text has so many helpful resources and I am grateful for my deeper understanding of structured lit.
