| Publisher Description: Widely adopted as an ideal introduction to the major models of reading, this text guides students to understand and facilitate children's literacy development.

Readers learn how theory shapes instructional decision making and how to critically evaluate the assumptions and beliefs that underlie their own teaching. Pedagogical features include framing and discussion questions, learning activities, teacher anecdotes, classroom applications, and examples of research studies grounded in each approach.
