Some may brush off the current tension as nothing more than one more round of \"the reading wars.\" Others may avoid the clash altogether due to the uncivilized discourse that sometimes results. Certainly, sorting the signal from the noise is no easy task.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this leading-edge book, authors Jan Burkins and Kari Yates address this tension as a critical opportunity to look closely at the research, reevaluate current practices, and embrace new possibilities for an even stronger enactment of balanced literacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From phonological processing to brain research to orthographic mapping to self-teaching hypothesis, \u003ci\u003eShifting the Balance\u003c\/i\u003e cuts through the rhetoric (and the sciencey science) to offer readers a practical guide to decision-making about beginning reading instruction.
