About this title

Synopsis

Shifting the focus to ability rather than disability, this inspirational account provides readers with a new perspective and new ideas on the challenging, often frustrating, task of finding an instructional approach that is flexible enough to accommodate the wide variance in students' abilities. Author Cathy Roller lays out a practical, day-to-day instructional framework for working with struggling readers in a workshop setting. She explains the research supporting workshop-style instruction and shares work examples based on 6 years' experience as a faculty director of the University of Iowa's summer reading program.
