Summary

What does research-based instruction in comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency look like in primary-grade classrooms? In this powerful book, Paula Moore and Anna Lyon summarize the latest research on these "new essentials" for teaching reading, and show how this research translates into classroom practice. They clearly explain how teachers can enhance instructional contexts already in use-readalouds, shared reading, and guided reading, for example-so that young children begin building the comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency skills they need right from the start.
