Book Earns High Praise from Reviewers 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 Meet the Author Robert Ruddell has been a reading teacher for over four decades.His research has examined the characteristics of reading teachers who are highly effective and influential in the lives of their students. The ideas and instructional strategies for teaching reading found in this book are a distillation of these teaching experiences and research findings. He has taught a wide range of courses in reading and language development working with teaching credential students, and M.A., Ed.D., and Ph.D. students, at Berkeley. He is Professor Emeritus of the Language, Literacy, and Culture Faculty Group at the University of California, Berkeley.
