Teaching Children to Read and Write: Becoming an Effective Literacy Teacher

by Robert B. Ruddell

This book focuses on helping the preservice teacher become an "Influential Reading Teacher," one whom students remember years later as a special teacher and person. The ideas and teaching strategies in this book are clearly developed to actively involve preservice teachers in understanding and thinking about children's reading and writing development. Information is derived from the latest theory and research on reading and language development. Central to this text is the real world classroom; thus, theory and research are applied to literacy teaching through examples, instructional strategies, and illustrations - all intended to guide and support readers toward the goal of becoming an influential literacy teacher. For preservice elementary school teachers.
