An important premise for any instructional practice
is that it is grounded in a framework supported by scientifically based
research. There are many online sources of practical research-based
materials for teachers of reading and writing. Within these pages, you'll
find links to current research documents that
can greatly contribute to how teachers provide instruction in reading
and writing. You can browse through online articles from various literacy
journals or explore the online offerings from many professional
literacy organizations. Our list of recommended
professional books is constantly growing to keep up with changing
needs and interests in literacy development. You may also use the online
discussions or professional development resources
as a springboard for getting more involved in various online literacy
communities.
