Reviews

I enjoyed reading this whole volume--it covers all the current topics in the field. The book's strength lies in its grounding in a comprehensive literacy development framework that integrates linguistic, psychological, sociological, cultural, and educational perspectives, and that views the teacher as a reflective practitioner and collaborator. All components of literacy (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing) are addressed, making the book a valuable resource for preservice and inservice elementary educators. --Margarita Calderon, PhD, Professor Emerita and Senior Research Scientist, School of Education, Johns Hopkins University
