Praised for its strong research base, engaging style, and inclusion of specific teaching ideas, the Fourth Edition comprehensively examines oral language, reading, and writing development in English for K-12 students. This Fourth Edition of Peregoy & Boyle's text continues the strengths of the third with its comprehensiveness and accessibility, providing a wealth of practical strategies for promoting literacy and language development in English language learners (K-12). Unlike many texts in this field, Reading, Writing and Learning in ESL takes a unique approach by exploring contemporary language acquisition theory as it relates to instruction and providing suggestions and methods for motivating and involving English language learners.
