"An interesting compilation for administrators, new teachers, and seasoned teachers. This text acts as a concise reminder of what we should all be doing in our classrooms and includes practical implementation ideas."
"I liked that way the book was organized. It was easy to read quickly, especially when looking for something specific. I definitely enjoyed the quotes to start each chapter and the research for each strategy."
"Packs in literacy strategies to help teachers. From phonics and vocabulary and word study to assessment strategies and ESL challenges, this links six decades of reading research to classroom instruction success stories for maximum value."
“While each strategy is research based and a brief summary of the research and sources are given, the book’s value is in the descriptions of the classroom application of each strategy. Even better is the ‘precautions and possible pitfalls’ section for each strategy that steers the practitioner away from common mistakes that would impede successful implementation. Both new classroom teachers and experienced literacy coaches will be able to find classroom techniques that will assist students in becoming literate adults.”
