Explaining Reading, Second Edition: A Resource for Teaching Concepts, Skills, and Strategies (Solving Problems in the Teaching of Literacy) 2nd Edition

As a third grade teacher I found this book to be an excellent resource on how to explain reading to students. The author models how this can be done with an objective in mind.

If you are a parent and want to help your children with reading and you don't know how, this book is a good resources to start, even though it is written to be used by teachers.

I had the older edition but needed the new one for a Grad. Class. I am so glad that I did! The updated information is great. I like the way that Duffy explains things so simply, to the point! I love the "secrets" that he gives you to tell the students. I think every teacher in my county should own a copy of this book: From Middle School down to Primary. I also like the examples given for two different grade levels. This helps you connect to your classroom and experience.

The author breaks down the reading process well. He is insightful about how to transmit, or model, the thinking process for students, and the book is to the point without all the fluff!

This book was for an online class I was taking. The book was in good condition, but please allow at least two weeks to receive it if you order it. The shipping took a week longer than I was told.
