How to Teach Reading to Elementary and Middle School Students: Practical Ideas from Highly Effective Teachers
“Ruddell’s text is one of the few that provides teaching strategies, assessments, and general information appropriate for intermediate grade reading instruction. Ruddell provides step-by-step instructions for important teaching strategies that every pre-service teacher should know.” - Pamela Dunston,ClemsonUniversity “The technology section, the levels of thinking section, vocabulary section, professional growth section, and the section on questioning strategies are very good.” - Marie C. Roos,JacksonState University “I like how both narrative and expository literacy (Chapter 8, Developing Reading and Writing in Content Areas) are covered in the textbook. I feel that helps set the book apart from others. The chapter on ‘Instructing Delayed Readers in a Regular Classroom Setting’ [Chapter 10] also seems unique to me. That chapter addresses a very real need for teachers.” - Ward Cockrum,NorthernArizonaUniversity
