    • Summary:The authors apply the idea of visible learning to literacy learning, to show teachers how understanding the impact of instructional efforts on student learning can help them choose strategies and instructional routines for specific teaching situations. They argue that students need to know what they are learning, why, what it means to be good at this learning, and what it means to have learned, and describe teaching approaches for fostering surface and deep learning, and transferring learning, as well as assessment.
