The path to reading success should be a celebration of learning, involving genuine purposes, fulfilling relationships and satisfying opportunities. How to provide these in the classroom is of paramount importance.

The book is an invitation to consider the reading process from a number of perspectives, including: the role adn use of literature; phonological awareness; outcomes-based learning; the writing/reading connection; the failed reader; and the beginning reader. Each chapter contains practical ideas to enhance classroom practices, promote enjoyment adn strengthen the commitment to literacy success for all students |
