Teaching Reading Sourcebook, 2nd Edition

I purchased this book from the advice of a professor and she was brilliant. It is all you need to teach reading or to become a proactive educator. The way it is broken down it is easy to read and use daily. It gives specific strategies that you can use step by step to help students with phonics, fluency, comprehension and more. Why more educators are not using it is beyond me. Read it on your day off and become a more proficient teacher. I use it daily in my class and can see the work in action. Love it!!

This book is one of only four textbooks judged acceptable for a reading course by the National Council on Teacher Quality. It is science based, with clear statements of what, when, why and how to teach. Reproducible reading texts, activity masters and teaching charts are included. Research-based best practices are carefully described for each component of reading instruction, from print awareness to comprehension. Lesson models of explicit instruction include sample teaching scripts and examples of corrective feedback. This is an outstanding book for anyone who wants to learn the science of reading.

I love this book! I use it all the time! It is such a great resources for teaching students with special needs and for teaching ELL students. There is a ton of information and advice on how to work with the students. It is similar to a teacher guide, but way better and really helps you understand the concepts you will be teaching your students. I highly recommend this book.

I used this to study for the Massachusetts Foundations of Reading MTEL. It is very easy to understand and I plan on using it in my classroom as well.

An awesome book with resources and suggestions that follow the common core standards. I have already recommended it to all my coworkers.

This book is great! It has a lot of good tips for teachers and specific multisensory strategies for teaching students using explicit instruction.

This book is a great help for teachers

When I worked at the Colorado Department of Education, we bought this book for scores of teachers in the schools where we were working. It contains over 800 pages of information focused on research-based practices for teaching literacy skills. The text is well written and there are literally hundreds of ideas for instructional activities in the book. This is an absolute "must read."
