- P. David Pearson,
<em>With </em>Rigorous Reading<em>, Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey have provided literacy educators who are<br />
committed to successfully raising the bar with solutions that make sense. The book is masterfully<br />
developed with an extensive reach across many grade levels in terms of defining what it means to<br />
provide intentional instruction and teaching text complexity. The five access points are discussed<br />
pragmatically with evidence of a solid research base deftly woven throughout the book. This is<br />
the most practical book I have come across in terms of providing teachers with the knowledge<br />
base and assistance many are seeking to improve their instruction with regard to complex texts.</em>
- Steven L. Layne, EdD,
<em>In </em>Rigorous Reading: 5 Access Points for Comprehending Complex Texts<em>, Fisher and Frey help teachers<br />
understand how to bring vigor to rigor. They teach us how to help students understand more from<br />
their complex texts—greater understanding that will help to bring life and energy to each student’s<br />
reading. Rooted in solid research, this is book is a must-read for those grappling with how to<br />
translate the recommendations and mandates around text complexity into instructional practices.</em>
- Jennifer Serravallo,
<em>[W]e need resources that show us how to support students in developing their full literacy<br />
potential. In this very practical and insightful book, Fisher and Frey examine how conceptions of<br />
text complexity are causing us to shift some of our ideas about reading instruction. </em>Rigorous Reading<em><br />
is an important resource that will help teachers align reading instruction in powerful ways.</em>
