From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: Scholarly — yet informal and easy to read — this book offers a rich compendium of broad-based instructional strategies (and their rationales) that have been proven effective in helping children who experience difficulty in learning to read. Constructivist and holistic in approach, it encourages teachers to use, modify, and adapt the strategies and activities to fit the needs of their individual classrooms — and presents examples of teachers who have done so. Key Topics: Presents broad-based, class-tested instructional strategies for developing complete instructional routines that are highly predictable, successful, and effective for readers who have achieved little success in previous reading instruction. Includes full chapters on The Instructional Framework, Fluency Instruction, and Putting It All Together — that help show how instruction fits within a larger whole. Contains discussion on parental involvement and offers unique chapters on writing, positive affect for reading, and comprehension of both narrative and expository books.
