Best Practices in Literacy Instruction, Third Edition Review
I begged my administrator to purchase this for me after attending the state reading convention. What a great resource! This provides practical, yet expertly researched ideas and solutions to common literacy problems. A great feature is included for pre-service and new teachers at the end of each chapter - questions and activities to evaluate current teaching.
My copy is all highlighted, dog eared, and sticky noted. It has been passed around the building for sharing ideas. This book should be a gift to each new teacher by their principal!

The Bible for good reading and writing instruction! - J. Clark - Franklin, NH
I read this book as part of a Grad course on Research in Reading and Writing. This was one of three books for the course and this was by far the most useful of the three. This book clearly explains, in a detailed, organized and easy to understand way, how to teach reading and writing. It provides great real world examples of best practices. I read this book cover to cover and it didn't seem like a chore! I looked forward to it. A must for any literacy teacher's book shelf!
A MUST read for all ELEMENTARY teachers - S. Himes - up-state NY
Real research by people who know what they are discussing:best reading practices. If you want to be informed, affirmed and do what is needed for all children to succeed...read this book. It provides the reader with practical information for classroom and school use. It is a great book for new teachers and a valuable resource to those 20 plus year teachers like me!
Comprehensive - Karen A. Di Gennaro - Hackensack, NJ
This book offers step-by-step instruction for hands-on literacy activities, as well as the theory behind each instructional practice. These are first rate authors/researchers in the field of literacy teaching. The book reads like a text book and thus can be used for research writing as well as in the classroom.
