Today, the models presented by Rhodes and Dudley-Marling are more cogent than ever. This second edition renews the case for whole language theory, taking into account the various developments in language arts over the past eight years. Included are new and expanded sections on literacy theory, instruction and assessment, and literacy as social practice, as well as a reconsideration of how teachers, administrators, and parents might work and learn collaboratively. The authors write, "It is no longer possible to talk about approaches to teaching students to read (and write) once and for all. Instead, we have to think about supporting students as they learn a range of literate practices...." The second edition of Readers and Writers with a Difference offers myriad suggestions for making that range as rich and far reaching as possible.
