This text cuts through the maze of controversy in beginning reading by providing a balanced, valid strategy by providing specific assessment, instructional and management procedures.

After defining the problem of early reading failure in our schools, renowned authors Robert Slavin and Darrell Morris include chapters on effective classroom reading instruction for kindergarten and first grade, one-on-one tutorial instruction, and reading instruction strategically organized on a school-wide basis.

Taking a developmental position, the authors describe specific assessment, instructional, and management procedures that will be useful to both in-service and pre-service teachers. The information is practical and detailed, blending classroom-tested pedagogical knowledge with the latest research findings. This text appeals to both teachers working directly with children and administrators who are looking for strategic answers to complex questions about beginning reading instruction.

  • Provides clear rationale and procedures for assessing young children's reading and spelling ability, allowing for immediate classroom application.
  • Outlines a developmentally appropriate plan for teaching reading/writing in kindergarten.
  • Chapters 2 and 3 offer a developmental perspective on teaching beginning readers in kindergarten and first grade. These chapters describe specific assessment, instructional, and management procedures that teachers can use in the classroom.
  • Includes a list of specific issues that the first grade teacher must address regardless of the reading program that teacher employs.
  • Succinctly defines the problem of early reading failure in both human and statistical terms and discusses “What would it take?” to help every child learn to read in the first few years of school (Ch. 1).
  • Provides a summary of various research-tested tutorial models that can prevent reading failure in the primary grades (Ch. 4).
  • Provides a clear description of “Success For All,” a comprehensive, nationally recognized school-wide model for teaching reading and writing in the primary grades.
