Summary

"The Reading for Real Handbook" is a genuinely balanced attempt to explore current theory and put forward some conclusions on the success of certain teaching methods. It It provides an account of the current theories that underpin reading and the teaching of reading and also offers guidance on how to implement those theories. Rather than simply describing good practice, it offers clear pointers indicating why the practical approaches which are put forth for consideration are theoretically sound and can be fully supported by recent advances in theory. A series of questions is posed at the end of each chapter, intended as a stimulus to self-reflection and as a potential starting point for staff discussion. An annotated booklist is also provided, which readers might use to follow up ideas contained in the chapter.
