The Literacy 50–A Q&A Handbook for Teachers

Teachers have questions, and nobody knows that better than Melissa Loftus and Lori Sappington, hosts of the popular “Melissa & Lori Love Literacy” podcast. They have assembled the questions teachers ask them most about how children learn to read–and provided solid, evidence-based answers inspired by interviews with their expert guests. Their handy Q&A guide can be read from cover to cover, in sections, or by question, as your schedule allows. Written in a teacher-next-door style, it offers solid advice, references to reliable research, and lots of teaching ideas to put into action immediately. Turn to it as you would a trusted colleague who can answer your most pressing questions about phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Understanding the science of reading just got easier and more fascinating, thanks to this essential new book.
