Teaching Children to Read is a research-based, practical and comprehensive guide to teaching literacy in K to 8 classrooms. In an era of rigorous standards, this text provides the essential information and strategies teachers need to help their students develop into capable and confident readers.

The importance of the teacher's role is emphasized in every chapter using 7 pillars of effective reading instruction: Teacher Knowledge, Classroom Assessment, Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies, Response to Intervention (or Multi-Tiered Systems of Support), Motivation and Engagement, Technology and New Literacies, and Family and Community Connections.

The 8th Edition is filled with recommendations made by the Institute of Education Sciences' What Works Clearinghouse. It provides the research-based tools and knowledge needed to plan and deliver up-to-date, effective reading instruction in today's classrooms.
