Can anyone think of the most recent trends and key issues in reading
pedagogy (phonics, literature-based instruction, fluency, critical
literacy, adolescent literacy, comprehension, content area reading,
struggling readers, writing, retention based on reading scores,ELLs,
etc.)
Does anyone know of books to introduce letter sounds or internet games to
reinforce teaching phonics, or game directions
