"Teaching reading effectively in today's schools is arguably as much science as it is art. To meet the literacy needs of all students, teachers necessarily begin their work with knowledge as to how reading and writing develop based on evidence-based research and the new English Language Arts Common Core Standards. Effective literacy teachers are able to assess student progress quickly and efficiently, and then provide effective literacy instruction to meet their needs. All of this and more must be delivered in real time, with real children, in real classroom situations"-- Provided by publisher.
