Synopsis

Middle Literacy Methods Anthology: Word Study, Vocabulary, and Comprehension provides students and educators with a collection of peer-reviewed research and project-based articles on reading instruction methods. A variety of interactive prompts complement the readings and challenge readers to think critically and better understand the ways in which each method can function successfully within the classroom. 

The opening chapter focuses on word study, featuring articles that familiarize readers with the word study instruction method, speak to using it effectively in small groups, and explore the implementation of morphological word study in the intermediate classroom. In the second chapter, students read compelling articles about improving vocabulary acquisition and utilizing morphological awareness to improve spelling, vocabulary, and comprehension for adult learners. The anthology concludes with a chapter about comprehension, which features articles on assisted reading, vocabulary awareness, and literature circles. 

Highly interactive in nature and immensely valuable, Middle Literacy Methods Anthology is well-suited for courses and programs in education and is also an excellent resource for teacher professional development.
