Mayfield); (3) "Whole Language Research: Foundations and Development" (Kenneth S. Goodman); (4) "Assessing Literacy: From Standardized Tests to Portfolios and Performances" (Elfrieda H. Hiebert and Robert C. Calfee); (5) "The Role of Decoding in Learning to Read" (Isabel L. Beck and Connie Juel); (6) "Reading Fluency: Techniques for Making Decoding Automatic" (S. Jay Samuels, Nancy Schermer, and David Reinking); (7) "Developing Expertise in Reading Comprehension" (P. David Pearson, Laura R. Roehler, Janice A. Dole, and Gerard G. Duffy); (8) "Improving Reading Instruction in the Content Areas" (Stephen Simonsen and Harry Singer); (9) "Text Structure, Comprehension, and Recall" (Barbara M. Taylor); (10) "Metacognition and Self-Monitoring Strategies" (Ruth Garner); (11) "Teaching the Disabled or Below-Average Reader" (Jeanne S. Chall and Mary E.
