Explicit Instruction: Effective and Efficient Teaching (2010) by Anita L. Archer and Charles A. Hughes - an Amazon #1 Bestseller in Special Education with over 225,000 copies in print - is the definitive practitioner guide to explicit instruction. Part of Guilford's What Works for Special-Needs Learners series, this illustrated edition has become a foundational text in teacher preparation, instructional coaching, and evidence-based classroom practice.
Explicit instruction is systematic, direct, engaging, and success-oriented - and has been shown to promote achievement for all students. This highly practical and accessible resource gives special and general education teachers the tools to implement explicit instruction in any grade level or content area. Authors Archer and Hughes are leading experts who provide clear guidelines for identifying key concepts, skills, and routines to teach; designing and delivering effective lessons; and giving students opportunities to practice and master new material.
The volume includes sample lesson plans, lively examples, and reproducible checklists and teacher worksheets that enhance the practical utility of the book. Purchasers can also print the reproducible materials for repeated use, and video clips demonstrating the approach in real classrooms are available at the authors' website explicitinstruction.org.
Topics covered: sixteen elements of explicit instruction; designing and organizing instruction; delivering instruction; teaching academic skills and strategies; teaching vocabulary; teaching comprehension skills; active engagement and opportunities to respond; monitoring student performance and providing feedback; correcting student errors; maintaining attention and behavior; firming up practice with distributed, cumulative review; and coaching teachers in explicit instruction.
Essential for: special education teachers; general education K-12 teachers; reading specialists and literacy coaches; intervention specialists; instructional coaches; teacher educators; school administrators; RTI/MTSS teams; and any educator working with struggling learners, English language learners, or students with disabilities.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
