Description:
This is the third in a series of books, and while the others focused more on developing foundational skills (phoneme awareness, word recognition skills, etc.), this one goes further to address the issue of developing fluency and reading comprehension skills.
Notes:
The title of this book is somewhat misleading. On first examination, it would seem that foundational skills such as phoneme awareness and letter knowledge and decoding skills do not matter for struggling readers because they are not addressed in this book. However, as Allington says in the preface, he does believe those things are important -- they are only omitted from this book because they have been so thoroughly covered in his other books.

Word Matters: Teaching Phonics and Spelling in the Reading/Writing Classroom

General Reading Information
Description:
This is a resource book for teachers of young readers -- it contains everything from the abstract (such as the "eight principles of literacy learning") to the concrete (such as ideas for specific classroom activities).
Notes:
This is described as a companion volume to Guided Reading, but it certainly stands alone. This book focuses more on skill building strategies than Guided Reading does, and this book provides extensive rationale for recommended instructional strategies.
