Reviews & Comments

The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) analyzed 725 textbooks used in college reading courses to determine if they covered the science of reading. Results of their analysis, published in 2020 Teacher Prep Review: Program Performance in Early Reading Instruction, indicate that the Teaching Reading Sourcebook was one of the 10 textbooks (out of 725) found to comprehensively and rigorously cover the scientific basis and instructional elements of the five essential components of effective reading instruction: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
NCTQ Report

“This text is strongly recommended. It provides appropriate and trustworthy content based in the science of reading. A rich discussion of each component lays the groundwork for the application of concepts through multiple teaching processes and instructional practices. Research-based assessments and instructional next steps are included for each component, including Spanish language versions of key assessments.”
—National Council on Teacher Quality, 2023

“I’ve used the Sourcebook for my courses on early reading and reading intervention. My students have always commented on its usefulness for understanding the science of reading development and its application to effective teaching.” —David J. Chard, PhD, President, Wheelock College

“The Sourcebook provides both distilled theory and research, with lessons you can teach tomorrow morning. It is a keeper . . . a textbook that preservice and classroom teachers will want to keep and pull off of their professional bookshelf quite often.”
—Shane Templeton, PhD, Foundation Professor Emeritus, Literacy Studies, University of Nevada, Reno

“The Sourcebook is an invaluable resource. The content is easy to read, presented in a way that makes learning palatable.”
—Brenda J. Thomas, Senior Instructional Specialist, New York City Department of Education

Product Description

The Teaching Reading Sourcebook, Third Edition, is a top-rated, indispensable guide to evidence-based, comprehensive reading instruction. Combining the best features of an academic text and a practical, hands-on teacher’s guide, the Sourcebook explicitly covers all essential components of effective reading instruction as recommended by the National Reading Panel (2000): phonological awareness, phonics/decoding, reading fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. The Third Edition has a completely new section on reading instruction within the MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support) framework: “MTSS for Reading Success.” The Sourcebook is user-friendly. Its organization and design reflect the elements of explicit instruction (what? why? when? how?). Each chapter includes a graphic, easy-to-understand explanation of the subject matter (what?); a concise summary of evidence-based research with a list of suggested readings (why?); suggested instructional timelines, assessments, and interventions (when?); and explicit, step-by-step lesson models that bridge the gap between research and practice (how?).

Features

An easy-to-understand overview of reading instruction within MTSS covers the basic components: multi-tiered levels of prevention and support, evidence-based programs with high-quality instruction, ongoing assessment, and data-based decision making and problem solving.
Content closely correlates with the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts, especially Foundational Skills (K–5).
Sample Lesson Models (how?) provide direct and explicit instruction for evidence-based strategies, practices, and activities.
