Artfully Teaching the Science of Reading, 2/e
Updated with the latest science of reading research, this 2nd edition demonstrates how “artful” teaching techniques can bring the science to life for your students at all levels.
Artfully Teaching the Science of Reading shows you how to translate essential components—phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension—into lively, meaningful learning experiences through clear explanations, classroom-tested activities, and vivid stories. Practical, adaptable, and rooted in both research and real classrooms, it helps educators design instruction that is systematic, responsive, and genuinely fun.
New to the 2nd edition:
· Reproducible graphic organizers and quick-reference tools for classroom use.
· PLC discussion prompts for team-based professional development.
· Middle and upper-grade examples added throughout, particularly for fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension interventions.
· Visual Science of Reading crosswalks in each chapter connecting strategies to research and frameworks.
This essential road map for all reading teachers restores the importance of teacher agency, supports the critical understanding of reading research, and allows teachers to use their knowledge, experience, and creative approaches in the classroom. With grade-level guidance and reproducible tools, it is the definitive guide to teaching reading as both an art and a science.
