“Elaine Traynelis Yurek and Mary Winifred Strong provide a comprehensive argument for implementing the language experience approach for developing students’ literacy capabilities. They revisit early ground-breaking research and examine current research that demonstrates the impact of literacy instruction that is grounded in students’ language, experiential histories, and capabilities. Rich contexts for learning are at the center of their instructional recommendations.” —Victoria J. Risko, EdD, Professor Emerita, Vanderbilt University, USA. “It is a great summary of various strategies to teach reading to both typical and neurotypical readers. It is hard to find accurate information on so many varied approaches in one text. The power of a student’s own language should not be ignored. This is a resource every teacher of reading should have on their shelves!” —Nancy Foy, Head of School, The New Community School, USA.
