 ‘This is an excellent book. It comprehensively reviews the research literature and
shows how to apply it to the nuts and bolts of teaching reading in the first few
years of school. It is a must-read for teachers.’
Professor Tom Nicholson, University of Auckland, New Zealand
‘Yola Center is one of those rare educators who is equally comfortable with
research and with practice. In this book she presents practical, down-to-earth
strategies for teaching all children to read, and gives readers both the evidence
base behind effective strategies and clear, compelling descriptions of what effec-
tive practice looks like in the classroom. She does not approach the subject with
pre-formed ideas, but asks at every point, “What works with kids?”’
Robert Slavin, Director of the Center for Data-Driven Reform in
Education at Johns Hopkins University, USA
‘This book should become a standard reference for teaching reading in the early
years. It is at once practical, accessible, and scholarly. Teachers, reading consult-
ants, teacher education students and all interested in best practice in the reading
classroom will find it a valuable resource.
It is practical because the whole orientation is on what to do to make greatest
impact in reading instruction… It is accessible because, on the one hand,
complex theory and research are reduced to their essence and presented most
lucidly… It is scholarly because it draws together the best current research to
make sense of one of the most complex learning tasks children are required to
master and it does this while avoiding strong ideological commitment to any
one theory.’
Associate Professor Alan Watson, School of Education,
University of New South Wales
‘ ‘Scientific understanding of how children learn to read and why some find this
so hard has increased enormously in the past thirty years. It is most unfortunate
that this knowledge has failed to reach many classrooms around the world. Yola
Center’s book provides a solution to this knowledge-gap problem. It is a clearly
written and accurate summary of current scientific knowledge about learning
to read and its difficulties, and will be invaluable to every teacher of reading,
not to mention concerned parents and reading researchers as well.’
Professor Max Coltheart, Australian Research Council Federation Fellow,
James Packer, Professor of Educational Research, and Academic Director,
Childrens Hospital Educational Research Institute
‘. . . an excellent book for primary teachers who teach pupils in the first three
years. The research that has gone into this book is invaluable and should
convince those who train primary teachers to adopt the theory and practice
expressed in this book.’
Noelle Michaelson, B.Ed. M.A.C.E. Primary teacher and reading tutor
This book introduces the classroom teacher to the research evidence on how
children learn to read. It identifies the specific skills that children need to
achieve in order to read effectively, and presents strategies that can be used to
develop these skills, in the context of a program that values exposure to a wide
variety of literacy activities. It is recommended for all teachers of early literacy,
as well as for parents who would like to know more about how their children
learn to read, and for educational administrators and policy makers who would
like to be better informed about the research evidence on reading and the
practical implications of this for the implementation of effective programs of
reading instruction in our schools.’
Marion de Lemos, PhD, Honorary Fellow, Australian Council
for Educational Research, and Council Member

‘Yola Center has produced a text that is at once eminently readable, yet manages
to integrate all the important findings from a wide body of literacy research. Her
book meets the dual needs of accurately describing these beginning reading
research findings while also enabling the reader to make the often difficult tran-
sition to implementation into classroom practice.’
Dr Kerry Hempenstall, RMIT University
‘Yola Center’s new book meets an urgent need for an up-to-the-minute account
of the teaching of reading in the first three years of school. It succeeds in provid-
ing intending and practising teachers of early years classes with a sound
theoretical framework that informs the planning and delivery of classroom
reading programs.’
John Elkins, Professor of Literacy Education, Griffith University
‘This book provides a well organised, engaging and balanced program for devel-
oping literacy skills in children in the first few years of schooling which will lead
them effectively into fluent reading and writing. It offers a road map without
being too prescriptive and while allowing free and creative approaches within its
framework.’
Professor Margot Prior AO, University of Melbourne
‘In a world surrounded by educational fads and jargon it is rare to find a
resource that is as practical, well written and illuminating as Yola Center’s book
on reading instruction.’
Dr Kevin Donnelly, Melbourne-based Director of Education Strategies,
author of
Why Our Schools are Failing
‘This is a highly original book. Its coverage is both broad and deep, and it shows
evidence not only of someone conversant with the latest research but experi-
enced in real classrooms as well.’
Professor Brian Byrne, University of New England
