Literacy in the Middle Grades: Teaching Reading and Writing to Fourth Through Eighth Graders. (2nd Edition)
Response from the Field… Literacy does look different with middle to upper grades students. This teaches readers about the essential ingredients in a balanced reading and writing program, then it demonstrates what each piece would look like and gives a “here’s how you do it” example. The what, why, and how of a literacy program are clearly presented.Carol J. Fuhler, Iowa State  University The compendium is a great feature! The way it’s referenced in the text is also good — it shows students how the various methods and strategies can play out in the actual classroom.Laura Pardo, Michigan State University The organization of the text is excellent. The text does a most effective job of helping future teachers understand what literacy is and how to help students achieve literacy.Hollis Lowery-Moore, Lamar  University
