McKenna (reading, University of Virginia) and Walpole (education, University of Delaware) detail key principles of adult learning and the qualities that distinguish adults from children as learners, so that literacy coaches can provide experiences for teachers. They describe six major coaching models, then show how to provide the leadership needed for professional learning to occur, with discussion of distributed leadership and the importance of developing productive links between coaches and administrators. Curricula, materials, and assessments are also covered in detail, with the issue of reading assessment receiving special attention. The rest of the book is devoted to questions concerning the coach's role in professional growth, with chapters on classroom level coaching, grade-level coaching, literacy coaching in the middle grades, and dealing with teacher reluctance. Numerous checklists and assessment forms are included. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
