Teaching Reading in Today's Elementary Schools

by Betty D. Roe, Sandra H. Smith, Nancy J. Kolodziej

TEACHING READING IN TODAYS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS sets the standard for reading instruction to ensure that you are able to help your students learn mechanics of word recognition, how to comprehend what they read -- and enjoy the process. The book advocates a balanced approach to reading, presenting newer approaches to reading with more traditional approaches that have proven value, such as phonics, vocabulary instruction, and strategies to improve literal and higher-order comprehension. The twelfth edition includes discussion of the latest technology for literacy learning, recent movements in literacy assessment and standards that must be met, and information about guided reading and close reading techniques with appropriate texts. Praxis, CCSS, and edTPA assistance is incorporated throughout.

Read for my college, course class "Instructional practices for Reading Teachers". This book did give important information for the class I had to take, though I hated the course because it was just horrible.

This was an approachable text with many helpful resources for putting the literacy concepts into practice. It worked well for my Elementary Literacy course. I appreciated the associated Instructor's Manual as this was my first time teaching this subject, and the tests and activities integrated nicely with our Brightspace system.
