Each chapter provides support in the types of questions and how they should be used with text. Multiple examples of questions are provided to teachers for improving how they engage students with texts."Though some of Fisher and Frey’s work promotes balanced literacy approaches, this has helpful information to support critical reading.

FoundationsReading in the BrainStanislas Dehaene2009978-0-14-311805YYYN/AN/AYYAcceptable (Specialized) Recommended for Faculty NCTQ Review: "In Reading in the Brain: The Science and Evolution of a Human Invention, Dehaene presents a sophisticated conceptualization of the crowning achievement of human beings: literacy. Throughout the text, he discusses the origins, neural underpinnings, and implications of the reading brain while clearly communicating recent advances in the science of reading. While this text is somewhat technical, it is also of practical use to educators. Chapter 5, in particular, has much to offer preservice and practicing teachers regarding how we learn to read. Dehaene explains how a child’s brain develops and eventually facilitates the reading process. He also explains how students can be supported to recognize letters, decode, and encode known and previously unknown words . A critical insight is that "reading acquisition has three major phases: the pictorial stage, a brief period where children “photograph” a few words; the phonological stage, where they learn to decode graphemes into phonemes; and the orthographic stage, where word recognition becomes fast and automatic" (p. 225). While neuroscience is presently still far from prescriptive, Dehaene presents many instructional implications (including nonexamples drawn from whole language and balanced literacy). In addition, the author presents a preventative approach to mitigating reading difficulties, including dyslexia. Thus, this textbook would be an excellent foundational text in a teacher prep program."

This commenced in 1997 and the report was published in 2000. The report built on the “National Research Council Committee on Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children” (Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998). The five pillars for effective reading instruction identified are phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The research studies utilized a scientifically based process. A major finding was that reading instruction should include an explicit, systematic, and sequential approach. In addition, the panel discussed the role of teacher preparation and instruction on student achievement."
