The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading (Corwin Ltd)

Product Information

But if we do not understand what the best available evidence out there says about what makes great reading instruction, what on earth are we to do? It’s little wonder we are left to fend for ourselves and develop our intuition, as if teaching reading was an art. After all, generations of teachers have done this, so maybe we should just carry on. And yet… even though I received excellent initial teacher training, I had little more than a few hours explicitly learning about how children learn to read. After that, I was left to rely on intuition and observation of more experienced colleagues to work it all out: discerning what the right approach to teaching the sound “ee” to year 1s might be, or helping year 6 infer meaning from a text about character emotions. From conversations with many other colleagues since, I know my experience is far from unusual.

The result is a balanced text that can be adapted to all contexts.
