What do literacy professors love about this book?

“The addition of evidence-based strategies is crucial. Pre-service teachers need to see a direct connection between strategies that they are learning and the evidence that is behind the strategies. The adaptations for struggling and delayed readers are a strong addition to the fourth edition. . . . Ruddell gives strong examples of possible differentiation strategies.”
Roxanne Sorrick, Hiram College

“I welcome the inclusion of ‘adaptation of strategies for delayed readers’ for each of the instructional strategies. It is an excellent idea to include ‘Evidence-Based Practice’ throughout the chapters to point out and explain the research that supports the use of certain instructional strategies or assessment tools. Including the IRA Professional Standards at the end of each chapter is an excellent idea.”
Anna Chee, California State University―Los Angeles

“Professional Standards feature is clearly connected to what we outline on our course syllabus for the state and national standards. I appreciate the updated research references! I welcome the changes set forth in the revision―the updated terms, visual cues, delayed readers sections, and overall updates.”
Martha M. Decker, Morehead State University
