A wonderful resource is "Multisensory Teaching of Basic Language  
Skills" , edited by Judith R. Birsh , Teachers College Columbia  
University.  Each chapter is authored by a professional with expertise  
in the topic and begins with a conceptual framework based on research  
in a specific area followed by content knowledge and specific "how to"  
information based on working model programs.  This is a fantastic  
resource for anyone working with language based disabilities, or one  
who is thinking about entering the field.  Each chapter is an article  
in itself.

Another good one about the development of reading in younger children  
is "Straight Talk About Reading" by Susan Hall and Louisa Moats.
