“A useful reference for teachers on many aspects of reading (and writing) instruction for children in elementary school. I particularly appreciate the integration of various science of learning principles such as cognitive load for understanding reading challenges, as well as a clear and easy-to-follow chapter on reading fluency. The author’s acknowledgement and integration of concepts surrounding how and when to use AI/technology support (and when not to) offers a fresh and welcome perspective to teachers at all levels of experience charged with the critical job of teaching children to read.”
