Best Practices in Writing Instruction (Solving Problems in the Teaching of Literacy)1 review
The Guilford Press, 2007
Good source for prof. development
This was a great resource for our staff when we pulled our K-5 writing program together. There is much reaffirmation and ideas on how to support implementing a consistent writing program. There are many works cited that support the ideas and it's just a wonderful resource! I look forward to sharing more pieces of this with our staff as we continue on implementing writing in our building.

Perfect for parents wanting to help their child
I bought this book in hopes of finding some guidance for tutoring my daughter in phonics. I am not a teacher and have no background in it. However, this book is well documented, has sources cited, a glossary, terrific appendices and a cd. I learned about the connection between reading, spelling and writing development. The easy to administer spelling test and grading highlighted the phonic ...

Wiley, 2006
One of the Best Textbooks for Basic ID
I have used this text in several editions, both as a reference in my work as an Instructional Developer and as a one of several suggested ID texts I've used in teaching this subject.
It is one of the most comprehensive basic texts for the entire ID process, providing information not available in other more simplified texts. For this reason, you do not tend to read it as you would a novel. You ...

Reading Instruction That Works, Third Edition: The Case for Balanced Teaching (Solving Problems in the ...1 review
PhD Michael Pressley PhD
The Guilford Press, 2005
Definite Must-Read
Pressley's stated goal is to provide a "reader-friendly review of the research evidence pertaining to beginning reading, one that doesn't require [readers] to have technical background knowledge in reading research." In this he succeeds admirably. While the text is chock-full of references to studies and analyses, it is by no means a dry, dense tome. It is most definitely reader- and ...

"A Models Approach" truly helps scaffold instructional models for teachers

Systematic Design of Instruction, The (7th Edition)12 reviews
Walter Dick, Lou Carey, ...
Allyn & Bacon, 2008
Be fearless
As daunting as this book is, I must admit, it's a tour de force. Not one turn unstoned. Quit your job, steel yourself, and reread its passages, several times if necessary. Do so simultaneously, as I am, with Psychology of Learning for Instruction (Marcy Driscoll) and know astronaut-training in instructional design.

Classroom Instruction That Works With English Language Learners3 reviews
Jane D. Hill, Kathleen M. Flynn
Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve, 2006
Very Good, Easy Reading Book for Teachers Who Want to Learn More About English Language Learners
I thought this book was very good for classroom teachers who want clear information on how to include English Language Learners in their classrooms. It is very difficult to explain to classroom teachers how to include students who are learning English in short sound bites. This book helps clarify information and teachers can read it at their leisure.
I personally don't like the term English ...

Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction7 reviews
Ralph W. Tyler
University Of Chicago Press, 1969
I loved this book
Even though this book was written and published a half a century ago, the basic principals of curriculum design are clearly the same. This book is to the point, clear, and quite accurate in my opinion. For anyone serious about curriculum design, it is a required read.

Comprehensible meaning for teachers
This book is an excellent tool for teachers seeking to improve their instructional practices.
