"Reading and Teaching raises questions and provides a context for preservice and practicing teachers to understand and to reflect on the complex issues surrounding the teaching of reading in schools. It presents real teachers in their classrooms, dialogues about that teaching, and exercises for further clarification. The purpose is to help teachers make informed choices about their teaching of reading. The text considers die different types of decisions teachers might make in die teaching of reading and die knowledge upon which they rely in making diose decisions - not simply factual information about using certain materials and methods to teach reading, but also knowledge about die mind, the political climate, the broader social and cultural circumstances of their students and schools, and the communities in which they teach."--book jacket.
