The term "best practices" should be eliminated in favor of "effective, scientifically research-based methods." "Best practices" is often used as a cop out and to present methods that have no scientifically proven worth. "I used best practices, so I'm not responsible that Johnny can't read," If it's a "best" practice, then it is proven to be "best" ie. effective, by the best scientific research. Too often "best practices" either have no research foundation or are based on qualitative research rather than on rigorous scientific research. Section III is meaty and worth the read.
This book reads more like a textbook and did not provide me with the lesson plans and step-by-step instructions that I was hoping for.
Very informative, comprehensive, and packed full of researchers and references with peer reviews and content rich articles.
Professionally apt - and most accessible for teacher-readers. A valuable resource.
Wonderful resource for an Advance a Reading class
Terrific book for preschool educators
