Chapter-by-Chapter Changes
All chapters have been revised to reflect the suggestions of the reviewers and our
beliefs about teachers’ needs in the current school settings.
• Chapter 1: The Reading Act has evolved to reflect the changing needs
of children in today’s classrooms and current legislative and social influences on teachers of literacy. Additional information and research about
meeting the diverse needs of children, including sensory and perceptional
issues and the use of RTI to meet struggling readers’ needs, have been
incorporated.
• Chapter 2: Assessment and Intervention has been updated to reflect current legislative policies. New examples and explanations about the following assessment topics have been addressed: curriculum-based measures
(CBMs), sight words, phonics, prosody, reading rate, and self-assessment.
• Chapter 3: Understanding Diverse Literacy Needs is a new chapter in this
edition, and it is devoted to sharing suggestions for meeting the needs of
a variety of diverse learners in today’s classrooms. A number of teaching
strategies provide guidance for teachers about best practices to improve
their effectiveness in a diverse classroom.
• Chapter 4: Emergent Literacy includes a new section about Marie Clay’s
literacy processing theory, which will provide readers with significant
theoretical information about emergent literacy. New information on the
use of interactive read-alouds for emergent readers has been included.
Several new figures, such as a continuum of children’s early literacy
development, and new student samples will further promote readers’
comprehension of the text.
