Synopsis

This is a book about knowledge for teaching reading and for evaluating first graders' performance. It describes HOW teachers actually teach reading. The book uses ethnographic research and cross-national comparisons to make visible elements of teaching culture that are usually taken for granted. The book proposes that teachers draw on ""national classroom cultures"" to generate their own, more detailed professional knowledge for teaching.
