Revisiting Silent Reading in 2020 and Beyond

Elfrieda H. Hiebert

D. Ray Reutzel

In the conclusion, editors Elfrieda Hiebert and D. Ray Reutzel summarize and synthesize content from the chapters in this volume to describe, first, the role of oral reading in balanced and thoughtful reading instruction and, second, silent reading practices. The editors close with descriptions of three sources for effective silent reading practices that are offered in this book: (1) instructional techniques and practices, (2) teacher support, and (3) digital contexts.
