Recenzje

"...raises issues that researchers in early literacy need to foreground and explore further....provides ample evidence that effective schools do share certain characteristics in the way they organize instruction and support teachers, and it is a useful contribution to the discussion about how we can establish a context for teaching reading....This book provides good evidence that institutional and school organizational factors are an important part of providing effective instruction in reading....Teaching Reading is a key issue for today's schools. The contexts for effectiveness presented in this volume are a first step..."
