“Will prove to be invaluable, practical, and applicable reading for anyone charged with the responsibility of helping children learn how to read with skill and enthusiasm.”
— Midwest Book Review

In this contribution to the Kids InSight series, three literacy intervention teachers identify teaching principles that are effective with their struggling readers:

Meaningful conversation

Choice

Pertinent instruction

Consistent support

Purpose

Classroom vignettes illustrate how critical these principles can be to successful reading instruction, and easy-to-use activities help you incorporate them in your classroom.
