Product Description

Designed for courses that focus on instructional reading methods for at-risk and culturally diverse student populations, this inexpensive text assists preservice and in-service teachers in enriching the learning and reading skills of all children. Literacy movements and philosophies are subject to a pendulum effect, but renowned authors Cunningham and Allington promote the integration of phonics and literature-based process writing and reading instruction for a more balanced approach. The book helps ALL children engage in meaning-centered reading by showing teachers how to foster powerful decoding and comprehension strategies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Practical, Feb 10 2012
This review is from: Classrooms that Work: They Can All Read and Write (Paperback)
I bought this book as a required book for a class. It is very straightforward and easy to read. It gives lots of examples of things to do in a classroom and what those activities accomplish. I will use this book in my practice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Classrooms That Work, Sep 20 2002

This review is from: Classrooms That Work: They Can All Read and Write (Paperback)
For any experienced teacher, Cunningham's condescending, dogmatic style borders upon the insulting. Carefully read, her "best methods" approach, "research-based" book is neither supported, cited nor properly footnoted within the confines of her book. In spite of that fact, her books are being implented as if they were "Bibles" in numerous districts throughout the USA. In fact, the bureaucrats of the state of Illinois are requiring that we teach her methods!
Most of the material covered in her books is so very basic that most any teacher does a great deal of it already while this author gets rich.
Teaching is an art not a Patricia Cunningham book.
I recommend that you save your money and buy something creative and thought-provoking to make teaching exciting and not (any more) exhausting.
