Foundations for literacy : an evidence-based toolkit for the effective reading and writing teacher

Summary: "This is a reference manual, with accompanying DVD, for teaching K-6 students, using research-based teaching practices. The skills required to read and write well are identified, as well as how to recognize which children require additional support in and out of the classroom. Practical application of the research is provided with activities to enhance vocabulary building, connection of speech sounds to print, comprehension, fluency, spelling and writing." – July 2009
