Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides teachers, administrators, and staff developers with the best research-based practice on the literacy learning and teaching of low-achieving intermediate students. Drawing from a combined 40 years of classroom teaching experience, the authors explore the factors that contribute to success and failure in literacy and provide systematic and ongoing approaches for helping students who are most at risk. This great resource includes an "Strategy Bank" of more than 20 step-by-step practices, and extensive lists of children's books and sources of books, organized by purpose.
