The Administration and Supervision of Reading Programs

Now in its Third Edition, this popular textbook offers valuable information about administering effective reading programs from the pre-elementary through the college level. All chapters have been revised to include the most current information, trends, and research, and a new chapter has been added on college/university reading programs. Special attention is paid to a balanced approach to reading in the elementary and pre-elementary chapters and to the impact of the standards movement throughout. The editors, along with expert contributors, draw on personal experience and research to:

• identify exemplary elements of reading programs at each grade level.
• describe essential components, including materials and resources, teacher observation, professional development, and assessment.
• delineate strategies for improving connections with writing, technology, students from diverse and special needs populations, and the parent community.
• help reading personnel work within local, state, and national mandates in this age of reform.
