AA NNoottee ttoo RReeaaddeerrss This book is written by two authors: Andie Cunningham, kindergarten teacher and researcher, and Ruth Shagoury, university teacher and researcher. The text describes Andie’s kindergarten classroom. Throughout it, Ruth is occasionally referred to as a participant in the class. We have chosen to write this book from the teacher perspective, using the first person sin- gular. We hope this eliminates the awkwardness that often comes from coauthored manuscripts. ix Starting with Comprehension: Reading Strategies for the Youngest Learners by Andie Cunningham and Ruth Shagoury.
