Product Description
This market-leading text sets the standard for reading instruction and provides preservice teachers with extensive coverage of strategies, examples, and study devices. The book balances new approaches to reading--such as language arts integration and emergent literacy/literacy as a continuum with the more traditional foundations of strong skills and phonics instruction. Coverage of current topics includes assessment standards, teaching diverse learners, technology and the teaching of literacy, and the role of parent-teacher communication in student success.

Reviews


Well Organized Book
This book is very well laid out. All of the main points are clear and there are strong summaries. The pictures could have been more attractive, which is trivial. The wording was such that the book was boring, but why should we expect a textbook to be a novel?

Great Book, one of the best books to study from for Foundations of Reading MTEL
Do not waste your money on Foundations of Reading Study guides. This help me understand different key concepts that Fountas and Pinnel over indulged in their book. This book is simple, easy to read, focus on strategies, realistic classroom scenarios, and so on and so forth. In the back of the book it gave a whole section on teaching stragegies that can be used as a reference guide. This came to me from several friends who had recommended the book to me to help me study after we have the Fountas and Pinnel book, Guiding Readers and Writers. I hope this helps.

Super
Not only is this book a great resource for teaching young children, but it a great tool for future teachers. The material in the book can help you study for MTEL's.

Informative
This book is very informative and offers a plethura of ideas to work with the various reading strategies.
