"Teach Them ALL to Read examines the top ten fallacies in current reading instruction that contribute to reading failure in our schools. It gives me insights into current research, effective strategies and the piece of the literacy puzzle that must be in place so that every child in school learns to read."

Reach even the most reticent and challenged readers in your classrooms!

In this insightful and practical new book, noted educator and reading authority Elaine K. McEwan offers teachers at all levels the understanding and motivation they need to teach children to read―especially those students who need help the most. Administrators at site and district levels will find invaluable data on creating a reading culture that leads to marked improvements in achievement scores.

Teach Them ALL to Read provides educators with the most current reading research about how students learn, regardless of age or grade, and helps educators understand that learning to read is only the first step. Students must also develop fluency, acquire cognitive strategies, and continue to "read-a-lot" to enrich knowledge and comprehension.

Important features include:

• Step-by-step information on developing an action plan
• Graphic organizers throughout
• Brief sidebars that prompt reader reflection
• Glossary of technical terms
• Comprehensive list of phonetics readers
• Checklist of "Fifty Strategies to Build a Reading Culture"
• Easy-to-read samples, forms, and templates

No student has to fall through the literacy cracks, and Elaine McEwan shows how practitioners can keep it from happening in their schools.
