Description
by Denise E. Ross and R. Douglas Greer
When Text Speaks: Learning to Read and Reading to Learn is built on decades of implementing research findings in a few model schools for children from 16 months through elementary school, as well as research for extending those findings to secondary students.
The contributors to this book present techniques from the strategic science of teaching, which promotes the use of phonemes, curriculum-based assessment, and a love of reading, fluency, and prosody. Its 11 chapters are organized around the goals of the science of reading, such as: (a) effective moment-to-moment teaching operations; (b) continuous measurement of moment-to-moment outcomes of teaching; (c) procedures to ensure these practices are done reliably; (d) procedures to teach teachers standard first-step effective practices from educational psychology research; (d) individualized practices for students for whom standard effective practices do not work; and (e) procedures to teach students to learn to learn independently.
When Text Speaks brings the sciences of teaching and reading together to provide a complete and more effective reading education.
