Read: Seventy Strategies to Support Reading Success

Divided into eight sections, each section contains a brief conceptual overview as well as specific strategies that can be used to facilitate the development of that literacy process. Each strategy follows a READ format:  (R) explains why the strategy is important in developing strategic readers as it applies to that particular literacy element.  The strategy explanation (E) extends on the importance by more explicitly defining and describing critical characteristics that it encompasses.  The application (A) section provides a descriptive narrative of what the strategy might look like in the classroom. Step-by-step procedures for strategy implementation are provided in the delivery (D) section.

Kimberly Kimbell-Lopez and Carrice Cummins are the authors of R.E.A.D.: Seventy Strategies to Support Reading Success, published by Wiley.
