• "Reading Don't Fix No Chevys"
  The problems of boys in schools, especially in reading and writing, have been the focus of statistical data, but rarely does research point out how literacy educators can combat those problems. That situation has changed. Michael Smith and Jeff Wilhelm, two of the most respected names in English education and in the teaching of reading, worked with a very diverse group of young men to understand how they use literacy and what conditions promote it. In this book they share what they have learned.

• 50 Early Childhood Literacy Strategies
  Janice J. Beaty 50 'Early Childhood Literacy Strategies is the answer to the early childhood teacher's dilemma of how to teach reading to children 3, 4, and 5 years of age as mandated by the state and national governments. This text presents an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand approach involving young childrens' own emergence into the world of speaking and listening, reading and writing. Teachers and student interns will quickly learn what picture books and activities to use with children, how to use them, and how children can benefit from their use. They will learn what to expect as young childrens' writing emerges from scribbles to pictures and real words. Finally, they will come to terms with the concept of emergent literacy as it appears in preschool chi

• Do I Really Have to Teach Reading?
  Content Comprehension, Grades 6–12Building on the experiences gained in her own language arts classroom as well as those of colleagues in different disciplines, Cris Tovani, author of I Read It, but I Don’t Get It, takes on the challenge of helping students apply reading comprehension strategies in any subject. I haven't read the book, but the first Chapter that is available online would make a good test for a methods class. If you were the consultant, how would you have taught this lesson? She didn't use multilevel readings nor really prepare students for the reading. However, if that prep were provided, the reading strategies are good. Great definition of strategy.
