The Voice of Evidence in Reading Research

This urgently needed book, an unparalleled collection of reading research information, provides definitive answers to these critical questions. Peggy McCardle and Vinita Chhabra, literacy experts from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, have partnered with 30 other well-respected figures in the field for a clear, comprehensive exploration of reading research -- and the methods used to obtain it. The result is a one-of-a-kind resource that helps teachers and school administrators make sense of the controversy over evidence-based reading instruction, assess the quality of reading research, and make their own sound decisions about using research to shape instruction.
