Preparing Reading Professionals

by Rita M. Bean (Editor), Natalie Heisey (Editor), Cathy M. Roller (Editor)

Preparing Reading Professionals, created to complement Standards 2010, brings together key book chapters, journal articles, and news briefs to give you an in-depth picture of the demands of each standard. Each section provides further readings as well as reflection questions ideal for teacher education, book-study groups, and personal professional development.

A must-have for school staff developers, teacher educators, researchers-or anyone developing or evaluating programs to improve literacy instruction and learning.

Drawing from the results of an empirical study of students who failed a typical fourth-grade state reading assessment, the authors describe the patterns of performance that distinguish different groups of students who failed to meet standards.

[Sean Kottke · Rating 5 out of 5]

An indispensable collection of key articles laying out the research foundations for IRA's Standards for Reading Professionals. More focused than the various Handbooks on reading research for teacher educators.
