Overview

"Combining the views of experts in both 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 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."
