Summary "This CIERA-sponsored book is based on the premise that high-quality texts of all kinds are essential to good teaching in elementary classrooms. Experts on a variety of text-related topics were asked to summarize existing research and then apply it to literacy development in an "ideal" classroom. The most comprehensive and up-to-date book in its field, it moves progressively from an examination of discrete literacy processes and forms to a holistic overview and assessment of the classroom literacy environment." "This book is suitable for anyone who deals directly with issues of classroom literacy - in-service reading specialists, curriculum directors, college faculty, researchers, and graduate students."--BOOK JACKET
