"Text selection plays an important role in the teaching of Reading (and Writing) and the choices teachers make are determined by: knowledge of the reading process, instructional practices and available texts, students’ needs and interests, and the purpose for using the text (teaching, practice or pleasure). In this paper we discuss text choice as it impacts a number of pedagogical approaches used to teach reading. The texts considered in this paper include those used for: teaching reading comprehension, teaching students to decode, teaching fluency, independent reading, and teaching struggling readers. The use of rich quality literature for teacher Read Aloud is also discussed."
