Textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I ordered this textbook after finding a copy of it in the public library. I like the format of the book and the ease of reading. I am using it to supplement my reserch for a grad reading course. It is an excellent resource and I could not do without it. Frankly, I got tired of the overdo fees I was chalking up at the library. Now I have my own personal copy. This book has helped me with research for six of my grad courses in reading education. I'm half way through and still using this book as a major reference. It has everything you could possibly need on reading terminology, techniques, methods, research, experts, and references, etc. The authors have written three additional editions since the fourth edition was published, but the print in this book is substantially larger and easier to read for persons with vision difficulties. The charts are simple and larger. The new books are a bit more difficult to read due to the smaller compressed print, typeface, and feature placements (graphs, charts, diagrams, etc.).
Great Text

"Literacy: Helping Children Construct Meaning" is a book that is for the educator and layman alike, written in readable prose that is never overwhelming and always enlightening for anyone concerned with children's literacy. The book presents information that is critical for the teaching of reading from readers at the earliest stage of development to middle school or high school-aged children. Liberally featuring black and white, as well as color, photos and illustrations, the book also provides a wide-range of Internet sites that can be visited to find activities, journalistic features, and various other topics of interest for those that are in the business of educating children. An ensightful appendix and glossary explains terms and concepts that are essential for literary development among the young.
