6Uncover the why, what, and how of research-informed reading instruction

Fifty award-winning literacy educators contribute more than thirty-five "engagements"--student-focused, classroom-tested instructional and assessment actions--to strengthen the reader in every child, while reinforcing one essential fact: reading is about constructing meaning. The book is organized in a four-part framework: Knowing Reading, Knowing Readers, Engaging Readers, and Knowing the Language to Use.

Each engagement includes:

• A brief introduction
• Why?--Benefits of the engagement
• Who?--Students that would benefit most from the engagement
• How?--Materials and instructions for effective implementation
• Closure/Stepping Back--Concluding the engagement
• How's It Going? Informal Assessment
• Sources for more information
