Reading instruction is too often grounded in a narrowly defined "science of reading" that focuses exclusively on cognitive skills and strategies. Yet cognition is just one aspect of reading development. This book guides K-8 educators to understand and address other scientifically supported factors that influence each student's literacy learning including metacognition motivation and engagement social–emotional learning self-efficacy and more. Peter Afflerbach uses classroom vignettes to illustrate the broad-based nature of student readers’ growth and provides concrete suggestions for instruction and assessment. The book's utility is enhanced by end-of-chapter review questions and activities and a reproducible tool the Healthy Readers Profile which can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. |Teaching Readers (Not Reading) Moving Beyond Skills and Strategies to Reader-Focused Instruction | Psychology
