About this title

Synopsis

Sunday Is for the Sun, Monday Is for the Moon: Teaching Reading, One Teacher and Thirty Children at a Time is a handbook that shows how Reading Reform Foundation of New York trains public-school teachers right in their classrooms to teach reading, writing, spelling and comprehension effectively. Reading Reform Foundation’s phonetic approach uses multisensory techniques for teaching and for learning. This approach has worked successfully for over thirty years in more than 1,500 classrooms and with over 20,000 children. The program’s strength lies in the twice-a-week visits by Reading Reform Foundation mentors all school-year long. This combination of step-by-step methods and sympathetic professional support should be replicated in every elementary school in the United States.

About the Author

Sandra Priest Rose, one of the founders of Reading Reform Foundation of New York, has worked in the New York City public schools for over fifty years, first as a volunteer, then as a teacher in the South Bronx, and finally as Chairman and Treasurer of this not-for-profit organization dedicated to training teachers in successful approaches to teaching reading, writing, spelling and comprehension. Her goal is to have every child read myths, fairy tales, history, biography, science and geography, and learn about music and art, in order to open up the world of knowledge - the rightful heritage of each child.
