Where can I find information about the research support for Regie Routman in Residence so I can share it with colleagues?
Each project has been developed on a strong research foundation including the work of Richard Allington, Nell Duke, Don Holdaway, Lev Vygotsky, Gordon Wells, and many others. Their research indicates that when students are explicitly taught reading and writing skills and strategies through authentic literacy activities and whole meaningful texts in social contexts, they are most likely to engage in learning, to apply and transfer what they learn, and to make the greatest achievement gains. Regie Routman in Residence also draws on the decades of research on reading comprehension (Pearson, Taylor, Clay, Allington, Anderson, Krashen); writing (Graves, Hillocks, Magrath, Murray, Atwell, Dickinson, Elbow); the power of the reading-writing connection (Cotton, Duke, Pearson, Heller, Pinnell, Stead); and English language learners and learners who struggle (Collins, Cummins, Flood, Freeman and Freeman, Knapp, Langer, Thomas, and Collier).
