Author Description

CREATING READING INSTRUCTION FOR ALL CHILDREN The aim of this text is to present fairly, completely, and clearly the major approaches and techniques for reading instruction that research and practice have proven successful. It also attempts to present the theory behind the methods so students will be free to choose, adapt, and/or construct those approaches and techniques that best fit their styles and teaching situations. To help make the descriptions of teaching techniques come alive, examples of teaching are placed throughout the book. All are true-life accounts; many have been drawn from the memoirs of gifted teachers, others were garnered from newspaper reports or observations.
