Are You Prepared to Teach Reading? will help students prepare for state certification examinations on reading
instruction and self-regulate their own learning about teaching reading.
The concise prep book will be useful for all teacher candidates who want to self-assess their fundamental knowledge
of reading instruction, adequately prepare for their own state reading certification exams, or assess their core
knowledge of literacy instruction if they are engaged in alternative certification programs. Brief reviews of the
components of reading instruction followed by case studies and thoughtful, diverse multicultural classroom scenarios
allow readers to assess themselves with multiple choice decision-making questions, asking what readers know about
reading practice.
