For Reading Methods/Reading Assessment/Diagnosis and Remediation courses.

Full of practical ideas and strategies, this text provides a comprehensive and balanced approach to diagnose, assess, and support the literacy development of struggling readers and second language learners. Unique to this text is a philosophical approach that links all literacy domains with the eight recognized multiple intelligences. This serves as a springboard for identifying appropriate instructional strategies to meet individual student needs.

About this title

From the Author

These comments let readers know why this book was written.
When I first began teaching at the university I could not find a book that met my students' needs in this area. So I decided to write one. All editions have always been written with my students in mind, and have incorporated their suggestions. My goal is for this book to be teacher-friendly and extremely useful. It is full of many effective instructional strategies for literacy development. This latest edition includes a focus on multiple intelligences and integrating technology in literacy instruction. I would be most interested in hearing your comments or suggestions if you purchase and use the book. Thank you for your interest in my work.

From the Back Cover

Founded on the premise that education, especially literacy, should be accessible to all students in a democratic society; the seventh edition of Multiple Paths to Literacy is written to help teachers address the literacy needs of the diverse learners that populate today's K-12 classrooms. To meet every student's literacy needs, teachers must learn to differentiate classroom instruction.  According to Joan Gipe, differentiating instruction requires knowing where students are in their literacy development and using multiple forms of literacy to meet those needs - including text-based materials, technology, visual literacy, and the performing arts.  Multiple Paths to Literacy provides teachers with an analytical approach and practical strategies to recognize learners ' literacy strengths and needs, identify any students with special needs, and plan and differentiate instruction that takes into account each student's talents and multiple intelligences to tailor that instruction.
