Review
"Archer and Hughes have laid bare the architecture of effective instruction in this 'must-read' volume. Extensive research has converged on quality of instruction as the core ingredient in school improvement; the genius of this book is the clarity with which it explicates how this quality can be intentionally developed in every classroom. Each strategy or process is illustrated with concrete examples from diverse classrooms. In my 40 years in education, I have never before seen a book as insightful, comprehensive, and practical as this one. Every educator will treasure it!"--Kevin Feldman EdD, Emeritus Director of Reading and Intervention, Sonoma County (California) Office of Education
"If I had to recommend one book that would arm teachers with the instructional practices they need to have the greatest chance of dramatically improving their students’ achievement, this would be the one. This is the definitive resource on explicit instruction. Every page is filled with detailed descriptions of how to implement the most powerful explicit instruction teaching practices. Brilliantly conceptualized and written, this book will be embraced by practicing teachers and administrators as well as those preparing future educators."--Donald D. Deshler, PhD, Williamson Family Distinguished Professor of Special Education and Director, Center for Research on Learning, University of Kansas
"I have used this text for three semesters/m-/finally, a book the students will keep! I have used a number of texts in my methods courses over the past 10 years and this one is certainly the best on the market. The writing is clear and appropriate for both undergraduates and graduate teacher candidates; without fail, my students say it is the best text they ever purchased. If you could see my copy of the book, you'd see reference tabs all over it so I know where to look when I'm teaching."--Dee Berlinghoff, PhD, Professor of Education, Mount Saint Mary College, Newburgh, New York

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book Every Educator Should Read
As a 20 year educator, this is one of the most important books in my library. I highly recommend it. It synthesizes the most important elements of instruction. If everyone taught this way, we would have few problems in education. The entire continent of Australia has adopted this. If you are familiar with the highly effective and research based Direct Instruction, this will apply those elements to curricula not in DI format. Start a book club with colleagues and read this first. Anita Archer is brilliant and models this approach to instruction in videos.
5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Archer is fantastic
If you've ever heard Dr. Archer speak, you know she is a unique, dynamic presenter. This book has her voice all through it. She "cuts the fluff and teaches the stuff" in an easy to use, straightforward manner. I use this book often when I am working with teachers who need quality strategies for their teacher toolbox. Highly recommend this book to all educators.

This is an excellent book for any teacher wanting to learn more about strategies you can take, specific strategies, for various areas of instruction. There are very clear directions. This book is designed for a special education teacher and will be something I use a lot in my practice. Each strategy area is very clearly outlined . Excellent tool.
4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, but dense
This textbook is well-organized. You can easily find what you're looking for, however, each chapter is quite dense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anita Archer Rocks!
I love this book! She writes just how she talks in person. I have found Explicit Instruction to be very helpful in my teaching career so far. She simply explains her points and makes them easy to approach and implement. I highly recommend this book. However, I would recommend that this book work in tandem with a more open, explorative approach. Thank you Anita!
