ISBN-13: 9780130608574 Publisher: Pearson Education Publication date: 03/18/2003 Edition description: New Edition Pages: 528 Product dimensions: 8.00(w) x 9.90(h) x 1.10(d) This core reading methods text takes an integrated, developmental approach to reading instruction, an approach supported by the text's unique organization: Early Readers (grades K-2), Interpretive Readers (grades 3-5), and Critical Readers (grades 6-8). These sections weave together discussions of skills, strategies, and assessment procedures that support literacy growth, consistently grounding discussions in the INTASC principles. Basing their presentation on the social constructivist theory, the authors place readers squarely in the reading classroom, ground their theoretical discussions with self-regulating pedagogy, and provide readers with a wealth of classroom vignettes, examples, and activities. Features fit into the text's workshop approach. Connections: What's Next? This chapter-ending graphic charts the
