About this listen
Dr. Julia B. Lindsey’s evidence-based routines help young listeners decode words efficiently so they can spend more energy on comprehending—and enjoying—what they read!
You’ll find:
- Need-to-know essentials of how kids learn to read.
- Principles of high-quality foundational skills instruction.
- Teacher-approved instructional “swaps” to improve early reading instruction.
Dr. Lindsey addresses content learning, culturally responsive practices, and the importance of engaging readers from the start. She uses her impeccable body of research to create a powerful translational work interpreting reading science. She employs a scaffolded approach to teaching foundational skills, starting with decoding and oral language, moving through phonemic awareness and sound-spelling knowledge, and ending with fluency. Of particular value is the focus on bridging to practice. Activities and lessons presented here can be used immediately in the classroom. The depth of research backing this audiobook cannot be overstated.
Reading Above the Fray is deftly narrated by award-winning voiceover artist and narrator Kim Handysides.

Story
Phonics instruction shouldn't end when students can decode short words. From an early age, they also need to be able to decode "big words"—words with multiple syllables (sound units) and morphemes (meaning units)—to read proficiently. The key is to teach them systematically and explicitly, in developmentally appropriate ways. That's where this audiobook comes in. Dr. Heidi Anne Mesmer shares essential background on how language "works," provides a K-5 scope and sequence to guide practice, and offers abundant research-backed strategies that teachers can put into action immediately.
