Literacy coaching is currently a hot topic. This unique guide presents information and strategies to help literacy coaches meet the demands of designing and directing an elementary reading program. Step by step, this handbook provides the knowledge needed to ensure that teachers and students benefit from the concepts and methods emerging from scientifically based reading research. Invaluable reproducible tables, figures, and detailed examples illustrate best practices for:

* collecting and analyzing school-level achievement data
* selecting and organizing new curricula, texts, and resources
* conducting ongoing professional development
* providing feedback and assistance to individual teachers
* engaging the whole school community in supporting positive change.

Written by experienced literacy coach Michael C. McKenna, and prominent reading educator, Sharon Walpole. The clear and accessible style, and reproducible resources allow readers to connect with day-to-day tasks.
