The Power of Effective Reading Instruction

Without building strong reading skills, students often struggle to perform well in school and in life. Author Karen Gazith, through neuroscience, research-supported tools, and strategies, explores how children learn to read and how it should inform effective reading practices in schools. K-12 educators with this guide will find resources and reproducible tools to implement reading instruction and interventions, no matter the subject taught. <BR>K-12 teachers and leaders will: - Learn what neuroscience research says about how children learn to read, why some students struggle to read, and how this knowledge informs best practices - > - Gain strategies that target fundamental reading skills, like decoding and fluency - Master instructional approaches like acceleration, push-in and pull-out, and anchor activities to support students who are off track <BR>Contents: <BR> Introduction <BR> Chapter 1: The Neuroscience of Reading <BR> Chapter 2: The Big Five of Literacy <BR> Chapter 3: Reading and Response to Intervention <BR> Chapter 4: Reading Instruction Across Content Areas <BR> Chapter 5: Models for Reading Support <BR> Chapter 6: Strategic Teaching and Learning <BR> References and Resources <BR> Index
