Reading for Real Handbook

Combining the views of experts in both the classroom practice and reading theory, The Reading for Real Handbook is a practical guide to a 'real reading' or apprenticeship approach to beginning reading. It explores a range of topics, including the choice of books, the importance of social context, parental involvement, assessment and record-keeping, and how to help children who don't make a good start with a 'real reading approach'. It contains valuable advice both for teachers already committed to a storybook approach, and for those who make use of a scheme or schemes but wish to include a greater use of stories.Harrison, Colin is the author of 'Reading for Real Handbook' with ISBN 9780415080460 and ISBN 0415080460.
