Keith, I don't get anything from this URL but can still find it at my original link with the International Reading Association which I have reposted below (copy and paste it). Or if you just go to the IRA website and click on the link for Reading Research Quarterly, the abstract is there

To Keith and whoever is feeling particularly geeky at the moment: Here's a simple solution to long links that break. It usually works, but not always. I'm not sure what the reason is for the occasional problems. But it works most of the time, so I haven't been motivated to look into it

Hello,  I am in need of your expertise.  I've just started teaching 4th grade and part of our writing program/comprehension is expository text structure.  I bought the book nonfiction reading power and have been using the information, but after going to a district inservice, I realized they

Renee, I don't believe that I ever thought anyone was saying that labeling was an entire reading program. I was merely answering a question that someone was posing because they were unsure why someone might label things in a classroom. I felt I gave a reasonable answer. Labels are the FIRST
