All Children Read: Teaching for Literacy in Today's Diverse Classroom (Book Alone), 2nd Edition

Written by one of the most dynamic author teams in the field of Reading and Literacy, the second edition of All Children Read continues to offer K-8 teachers the best practices for nurturing emergent literacy, teaching early literacy concepts, and developing reading and writing in all students — those of varying reading levels and abilities, as well as those who are English language learners.  The new edition increases its emphasis on the professional aspects of literacy instruction, and also includes significant new coverage of fluency and vocabulary, differentiated instruction (and connections to the SIOP), and the all-important topics of literacy assessment. Central to the text  are the six overriding themes--the troubled reader, family/community literacy, technology, writing and reading connections, language diversity, and phonics/phonetic awareness---interwoven throughout, making this book the most contemporary and critical learning aid to come out in the field in years.
