Neuman "Professor, Childhood Education and Literacy Development, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development, New York University"

These authors have the unique ability to write professional development books for teachers about current issues exactly at the time they are needed, and this new text reminds us that we must teach skills to children in addition to social and emotional and culturally responsive instruction. This reader-friendly book emphasizes skill development we have neglected to emphasize over the past few years and presents the information in a creative playbook format just right for teachers.

Organized around an expanded adaptation of Scarborough′s reading rope, this user-friendly resource expertly translates scientific research findings into a comprehensive guide for reading instruction. Practical Illustrations and classroom examples abound throughout the playbook, allowing research-based recommendations to come to life to foster both word recognition and language comprehension in young learners. This book also encourages teachers to reflect on their own practice at many points and in many ways. A terrific resource!--Sonia Q. Cabell "Associate Professor of Reading Education, School of Teacher Education & Florida Center for Reading Research, Florida State University"
Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and Diane Lapp reduce the clamor around the teaching of reading and bring clarity to how to develop strong readers. The authors not only give the what and the why but, more importantly, also provide interactive examples of the how to teach reading--and what our teachers need most is the how. The text is broken into neat learning modules that can be used in PLCs or study/book groups. I plan to use Teaching Reading as the core text in an interactive professional learning series for our staff. You should too!--Michael Rafferty "Director of Teaching and Learning, Derby Public Schools, Author of 30 Big-Idea Lessons for Small Groups"
Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and Diane Lapp have done the tremendous work of bringing depth and clarity to the foundational skills of reading. They provide a wealth of clear and intentional guidance that will support us [early elementary educators] in providing quality phonemic awareness, phonics instruction, word reading skills, and so on, so that children are confident in their ability to decode and contextualize what they've read.--Melissa Black "Early Childhood Educator and Educational Consultant"
"Teaching Reading: A Playbook for Developing Skilled Readers through Word Recognition and Language Comprehension is destined to become a "stock and trade" for teachers in preparation and practicing teachers who want an updated, easy-to-read, and practical guide for assessing and teaching reading. The modules are predictably organized with practical classroom applications aplenty! The style and tone are accessible for classroom practitioners while communicating the best and most applicable current research evidence available. I would say this new "playbook" is just the right mix of tactics, strategy, and content to deliver a winning gameplan for teaching reading to all students."--D. Ray Reutzel, Ph.D, Senior Research Fellow
"In their inimitable way, Fisher, Frey, and Lapp have organized a great deal of practical, evidence-based information into a readable, accessible book! It will become a veritable "go-to" resource with its comprehensive information."--Heidi Anne Mesmer, Ph. D, Professor "Reading Education"
