Synopsis

Use the model set forth here to build your own successful schoolwide literacy program. You'll learn how to design a schoolwide literacy vision, establish a school literacy community, get all staff involved, build the school resource collection, assess the program's success, and plan collaboratively with students and parents. Helpful resources include suggestions for organization; tips on providing specialized instruction; ideas to keep staff, students, and parents motivated to succeed; and classroom-tested sample lesson plans to help you put your program into practice. This book is based on experiences of a reading specialist and administrator in a middle school, but can be adapted to fit your specific elementary, middle, or high school setting.
