This book demonstrates a five-part framework for teachers, reading specialists, and literacy coaches who want to help their least engaged students become powerful readers. Merging theory and practice, the guide offers successful strategies to reach your 'struggling' learners. The authors show how teachers can 'turn-around' their instructional practice, beginning with reading materials, lessons, and activities matching their students' interests. Chapters include self-check exercises that will help teachers analyze their reading instruction, as well as specific advice for working with English Language Learners. This title features: effective methods for differentiating reading instruction in Grades 2-5; real-life classroom vignettes and examples of student work; helpful teacher self-evaluation exercises; strategies to use with English Language Learners; and, much more.

This is a new practitioner's bookshelf title, designed for educators who find themselves challenged by the diverse needs and interests of their elementary school readers. The book focuses on differentiating reading instruction in grades 2-5 and highlights classroom vignettes and student work that reflect the needs of students who might be considered 'struggling'. The authors, however, advise teachers to reconsider this popular but damaging label for readers. They inspire practitioners instead to 'turn-around' their own pedagogical stance, grounding their practical advice in a socio-cultural theoretical framework with a focus on critical literacy. The authors propose a Five-Part Framework for this approach, adapted from Luke and Freebody's Four Resources Model, adding an important fifth dimension that draws from the rich research around issues of identities with respect to reading and literacy.
