Prepare the next generation of teachers to make the most of shared reading with this accessible textbook, a complete guide to building vocabulary-rich science and social studies lessons and discussions around storybooks and informational texts. Field-tested with children in high-poverty school settings, this instructional approach is valuable for any young learners at risk for comprehension difficulties.

This concise book presents the authors’ proven, empirically based ‘Project WORLD’ (Words of Oral Reading and Language Development) framework for integrating shared book reading into the classroom.
