Overall, this seems to me to be by far the best book available on its topic. It is comprehensive, almost always uses evidence judiciously and objec-tively, treats all the relevant key topics, gives excellent value for money and should be required reading on all courses of initial and in-service training for primary teachers and those trying to help children with reading dif?culties.
This book is worth reading, no matter what level you work. It will help you understand the building blocks of reading, with methods that can be put into practice to teach children effectively.
This book introduces key ideas about the development of young readers' skills, with useful diagrams and subheadings to break complex ideas down for readers. An interesting text for those keen to explore the stages of reading development and how to support the development of these skills.
The high level of detail expressed in a clear and accessible way make this an important resource. I wish I'd had it when I did my Ed Psych training! Our teacher trainees will find this very useful.
This publication is clearly presented, separated into four sections; part one provides knowledge of language, part two for reading and teaching methods, part three language comprehension and lastly showing methods of identifying children who have specific difficulties with reading and comprehension. This book aids further understanding of students studying on the Foundation Degree to advance their learning of particular strategies to support intervention programmes in the classroom.
This book emphasizes the link between phonics, comprehension and enjoyment when teaching children to read. It also offers suggestions for assessing reading skills and ensuring continuity and progression. This is particularly important for students and practitioners with the Literacy and Numeracy framework embedded into the Foundation Phase curriculum.
