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. In this guide, K-12 educators will find resources and reproducible tools to implement reading instruction and interventions, no matter the subject taught. 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 - Understand the big five of reading and how to apply each element in their teaching< - li> - 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 Contents: Introduction Chapter 1: The Neuroscience of Reading Chapter 2: The Big Five of Literacy Chapter 3: Reading and Response to Intervention Chapter 4: Reading Instruction Across Content Areas Chapter 5: Models for Reading Support Chapter 6: Strategic Teaching and Learning References and Resources Index
