[EAN: 9781593852979], Neubuch, [PU: Guilford Publications(Guilford Press)], (238 pages) This accessible text provides an extensive survey of the major theories and models that influence reading instruction and research. Readers learn why theory matters in designing and implementing high-quality instruction, how to critically evaluate the assumptions and beliefs that guide their own work with students, and the benefits of approaching everyday teaching situations from multiple theoretical perspectives. Every chapter features classroom application activities and illuminating teaching vignettes. Of particular utility to graduate students, the book also addresses research applications, including descriptions of exemplary studies informed by each theoretical model. Introduction to Theories and Models. Early Roots: Early Theories and Models Applicable to Reading (400 B.C.-1899). Behaviorism: The Dominant Educational Theory for 50 Years (1900-1950s).

'As a teacher educator, I’m excited to make room on my bookshelf for Lenses on Reading. This book does a great job of bridging theory and practice. It brings the history of reading research to life for new teachers by contextualizing the major theories in today's classrooms. Even experienced researchers will undoubtedly experience those 'I didn’t know that ' moments when reading this book. This is an outstanding text for reading specialist programs and other graduate-level reading programs.' - Nancy Frey, PhD, San Diego State University 'What a terrific text and a wonderful resource for the field This unique text offers a thorough review of educational and psychological perspectives on reading, provides a chronological review of these perspectives in an easily accessible format, and describes applications of each perspective for practitioners and researchers. The teachers anecdotes, classroom applications, and research applications included in each chapter illustrate the ways that theories can be implemented in practice and exemplify the kinds of evidence-based instructional practices favored in today's world of reading education. To my knowledge, this is the first text to provide such a comprehensive treatment of reading theories in a format that is ideal for use as a textbook or as a resource for researchers.' - Kelly B. Cartwright, PhD, Department of Psychology, Christopher Newport University Diane H.
