Teaching Strategic Processes in Reading

"Want to become a more effective teacher of comprehension and strategic reading processes? Get this book! It is filled with rich descriptions of effective instruction that can be tailored to fit specific classroom circumstances and student populations. Without a doubt, this is the best book on the market for teachers who strive to provide reading instruction that makes a difference. I have used the first edition in classes, and I'm excited about using the updated and improved second edition with my students. It is appropriate for a range of undergraduate and graduate courses in reading." - Linda B. Gambrell, Clemson University, California, USA "This is a compelling and powerful book that masterfully grounds strategic processing instruction in both theory and research. It is an excellent resource to help classroom teachers and literacy specialists develop the extensive knowledge base needed to self-regulate their practice. New chapters in the second edition assist teachers in planning and organizing instruction and implementing it within an RTI framework. The discussions in these chapters are essential because they help bridge the gap between research and practice." - Lynn E. Shanahan, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA
