Synopsis:

More than a decade ago, Rona F. Flippo set out to find common ground among experts in the much-fragmented field of reading research. Over a 10-year period, she conducted her groundbreaking "Expert Study," investigating what 11 eminent literacy scholars with diverse philosophies could agree to regarding contexts and practices for teaching reading. Reading Researchers in Search of Common Ground follows up and expands on the Expert Study, reinforcing and supplementing the evidence of common ground in the reading profession. This influential work includes:
* a reprint of the article "Points of Agreement: A Display of Professional Unity in Our Field," which provides background on the Expert Study;
* the voices of experts who took part in the study, along with additional distinguished literacy scholars who have specialized experiences and vantage points from which to view the Expert Study; and
* recommendations for use of the Expert Study findings.

This volume is an invaluable resource for the entire literacy community--researchers, teacher educators, administrators, practitioners, and policymakers.
