Críticas:

"An interesting compilation for administrators, new teachers, and seasoned teachers. This text acts as a concise reminder of what we should all be doing in our classrooms and includes practical implementation ideas." (Patricia Ruggiano Schmidt, Professor of Literacy 2006-10-24)

"I liked that way the book was organized. It was easy to read quickly, especially when looking for something specific. I definitely enjoyed the quotes to start each chapter and the research for each strategy." (Kathleen Prisbell, English Teacher 2006-10-24)

"Packs in literacy strategies to help teachers. From phonics and vocabulary and word study to assessment strategies and ESL challenges, this links six decades of reading research to classroom instruction success stories for maximum value." (California Bookwatch, July 2007 2007-08-10)

“While each strategy is research based and a brief summary of the research and sources are given, the book’s value is in the descriptions of the classroom application of each strategy. Even better is the ‘precautions and possible pitfalls’ section for each strategy that steers the practitioner away from common mistakes that would impede successful implementation. Both new classroom teachers and experienced literacy coaches will be able to find classroom techniques that will assist students in becoming literate adults.” (CHOICE, April 2008 2008-05-28)

Reseña del editor:

Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book focuses on the academic research base in reading and literacy. Using a convenient format that teachers, trainers, and administrators find easy-to-access, the authors survey and select the best published data and research in reading and literacy and then synthesize it for classroom application and instruction.

Each of the 75 research-based classroom strategies in the book includes:

· A concise description of the recommended classroom strategy or application;

· A brief synthesis of the research that supports use of the strategy;

· Guidelines for applying the strategy in the classroom;

· Precautions about avoiding pitfalls that may occur during implementation of the strategy; and

· Source citations for further research and follow-up.

The book includes coverage of research linked to current legislation and controversy ("the reading wars"), including Reading First, scripted reading programs, "evidence" and bilingual learning, but it does not favour or promote specific programmes. The focus always remains on state-of-the-art research translated into practitioner strategies for real learners in real classrooms.
