Written by one of the most dynamic author teams in the field of Reading and Literacy, the second edition ofAll Children Readcontinues to offer K-8 teachers the best practices for nurturing emergent literacy, teaching early literacy concepts, and developing reading and writing inallstudents — those of varying reading levels and abilities, as well as those who are English language learners. The new edition increases its emphasis on the professional aspects of literacy instruction, and also includes significant new coverage of fluency and vocabulary, differentiated instruction (and connections to the SIOP), and the all-important topics of literacy assessment.
