    "The range of topics is expansive and inclusive, from research studies on spelling to the use of technology in classrooms. This essential resource can be used as an encyclopedic reference for the English-language arts in general or for those interested in synthesis research in particular. The bibliographic references for each chapter are in themselves a rich resource for those seeking a more in-depth study of a specific topic. Highly recommended for practitioners at all school levels, researchers, policy makers, and graduate and undergraduate students in education."--CHOICE "This text is an important resource that should be in the professional library of every member of the literacy community, especially researchers, techer educators curriculum coordinators, instructional leaders, and graduate students."--Journal of Literacy Research
