That teacher-researcher is Ardith Cole, who has not only witnessed, but documented every explicit and nuanced instructional move regular classroom teachers make as they lead beginners into the world of print. In When Reading Begins she offers the most detailed, precise, and inspiring explanation of the exact moments when children cross the bridge into reading and the profoundly sensitive ways in which teachers make the crossing with them. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCole clearly demonstrates why thoughtful teachers, rather than packaged, scripted, or systematized programs, are what schools need if they want to teach reading effectively. She shows how teachers' words and gestures support beginning readers within two instructional contexts: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ethe micro\u003c\/b\u003e, which involves processes in sound patterns and meaning \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ethe macro\u003c\/b\u003e, which involves processes in chunking, comprehension, and fluency. \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eCole argues that what works depends on the reader, the teacher, the text, and the context and that much too often practices and policies are implemented, even mandated, without much thought about variations in learners and\/or teachers. She addresses the indispensables of reading instruction and shows how teachers use different techniques to scaffold readers as they move from preword reading into word reading and on to fluency. \u003c!--?p--\u003eThrough an engaging blend of lucid narrative, illuminating photos, transcripts, classroom vignettes, telling analogies and metaphors, and \"Grist for Discussion,\" Cole will revitalize your perspective.
