Pretty much have seen all this advice before.

We used this in our early literacy class. It is an amazing resource in the way it lays out instructional frameworks or assessments that can be used in classrooms or interventions. At times, I think the density of the content at times adds unnecessary complexity for undergraduates, but with discussions and jigsawing we made the text more accessible. I like the apprenticeship book, but the 1990's copyright made me change to this text for an update on Dorn's ideas which are embraced by many school districts in the area.
