The "Teaching Reading Sourcebook, Second Edition" is a comprehensive reference about reading instruction. Organized according to the elements of explicit instruction (what? why? when? and how?), the "Sourcebook" includes both a research-informed knowledge base and practical sample lesson models. It teaches the key elements of an effective reading program--phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary development, fluency, and comprehension--in a practical hands-on teacher's guide. All five components correlate to the Common Core State Standards. The Sourcebook helps educators get a clear view of the current state of reading education and key literacy concepts. The teaching tips, intervention strategies, and suggestions for English learners make it a must-have for educators at every level. A list of resources, an answer key, a list of references, and an index are included. [Contributing authors include: Carrie L. Cole, Pamela Beard El-Dinary, Roxanne F. Hudson, Holly B.
