Teaching Reading Across the Day, Grades K-8: Methods and Structures for Engaging, Explicit Instruction

As a 3rd year teacher who has had to implement a new literacy curriculum this year, this book has been my lifesaver! It is so grounding that there are these structures to make any curriculum work that is responsive to your students. I highly recommend!

A good book that delves into the science of reading. It's an easy to read book with great material on how to help kids learn how to read. The information is updated. It provides information needed to help even older students learn how to read.

The book very good and is worth 5 stars. But I’m knocking off a star for shipping.The book was placed in the package carelessly, leading to bent pages. Shipping led to the top right corner of the book becoming bent as well.I am keeping it, in spite of the folded and bent pages. I hope this reduces waste, but leads to better packaging in the future.

This is an excellent resource. I have to say I didn’t come across anything I haven’t already seen before. However it’s a book that had different concepts I learned from different books in one. That can be helpful for a more encompassing guide. The book is laid out in a way that is easy to understand. The author provides plenty of examples including video links. It’s well organized and the layout is attractive without being cluttered. This helps build the confidence of the teacher plus really cements the concepts.It’s worth a read and can help with teaching styles and lessons. The fact that I saw concepts I have already read about is encouraging to me. It makes me feel like those are THE proven methods.

A great guide to helping kids learn. The book itself (physically) is good quality

I am not a teacher or instructor, so this review is coming from a mom of two toddlers who is struggling to even choose a curriculum for my almost 4 year old to begin for homeschooling. Nothing super official as she is still young, but I'm inundated with so much information I struggle to decipher. This book almost made me cry when I finally started digging into it. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but teaching is not my forte and I'm trying especially as a full time working mom. This book is so well written. So so well. It really breaks down different areas to focus on by grade, and explains WHY and HOW. I initially got overwhelmed the first time I flipped through it. But as I sat down to calmly read through, I realized what I'd almost missed out on. I recommend that if you are feeling as overwhelmed as I am, check this book out and take 5 mins a day to just read a few pages. I'm slowly reading the pages realizing that there is no rush and my daughter WILL learn to read, but only if I can be calm and present. And I have an amazing resource to get us started. Thank you.

Ok

This is a great book, organized by lessons/instruction and offers detailed strategies with studies to support, and even shares when a potential strategy has "mixed" research in case the reader is applying it. Working in special education, reading is a foundational skill and I try to weave it into all my activities to help reinforce and improve my students' literacy skills. I'm seeing them work in real time. Strongly recommend this purchase for all educators, even past 8th grade as we see students with lagging literacy skills in high school and the strategies in this book can serve them too.
