KEY  BENEFIT: This is an excellent guide for dealing with specific reading  problems . . . with its wealth of carefully sequenced, highly- prescriptive  procedures for teaching decoding, comprehension, content, and study skills.  Rather than merely "list" ways to teach word recognition skills, the DISTAR  (Direct Instructional Reading) method recommended in this book discusses when a  skill should be taught, what items to teach, how to correct errors, and the  relationship among various reading skills.  Direct  Instruction Reading Third Edition emphasizes passage reading as seen in  discussions of decoding and comprehension of narrative and expository  materials. The book provides in-depth coverage spanning the entire reading  spectrum that aids in teaching children from pre-reading through intermediate  skill levels. It presents separate coverage of non-fiction and fiction reading  and identifies the similarities and difference between them. It provides  specific teaching formats that specify what the teacher should say and do as  well as the expected responses from children.   A  useful reference book for any educator or administrator who needs to understand  the latest approaches for teaching reading skills as well as the relationships  among those various skills.
