One of the main reasons that I used Fox's text was because activities are grounded within the necessary literacy theory for preservice teachers and teachers to make professional decisions regarding their students' literacy learning.
Dr. Merry Boggs, Tarleton State University
(referring to ch. 8): These are excellent, clear-cut examples of what to do. So often, teachers are not well-schooled in these methods. Characteristics of each stage help teachers to observe informally and adjust their instruction. [Chapter 5] is a real gem...Structural analysis can be a complex and dry subject to teach...The author presents a lot of info in a systematic format and supports each area of the concept with tables and clear examples. I will use this in my own practice.
Dr. Jane F. Rudden, Millersville University of Pennsylvania
The author begins the chapter [7] very well with the description of the four levels of fluency and guidelines for developing reading fluency. I believe that this is a great way of bringing all the information in this text together. It provides the reader with an understanding of why we teach and model these skills and strategies in an elementary classroom.
