What a wonderful book! The authors' approach highlights the importance of teachers' skills and knowledge for developing children's literacy. Throughout, teachers are supported in making informed decisions that result in exemplary instruction for all students. Each critical area of literacy is well described with exemplary practices that build from simple to complex, including activities that teachers can immediately bring to their classrooms. I especially appreciated the chapter on motivation. This book is a strong selection for teacher book clubs. I just finished teaching a literacy coaching course, and this would have been a perfect text. - Diane Barone, Foundation Professor of Literacy Studies, University of Nevada, Reno, USA The interactive strategies approach is an important new tool for an RTI toolbox. The authors provide a sophisticated approach to help children 'puzzle through' words. Teachers, coaches, and principals will consult this book to learn how to scaffold children and group them to tailor instruction. This book has extensive research support and provides activities that incorporate a continuum of whole-group, small-group, and one-to-one techniques. - Stephanie Al Otaiba, Florida State University College of Education and Florida Center for Reading Research, Tallahassee, Florida, USA
