Synopsis
Here is a model of reading ideal for striving readers, focused on their personal interests, topic-specific reading, deep background knowledge, contextual reading strategies, and mentoring support. More important, the model moves away from a deficit approach to conceptualize striving readers in a new way.
Chapters share success stories of readers who overcome their struggles and highlight instructional strategies and materials you can use to develop activities and lessons for children and adults. Use this research-based model in the classroom or at home to help your striving readers achieve high levels of literacy.

Review
"One of those rare books that raises and answers a fascinating question: How do some severely impaired dyslexics manage to master reading and to succeed in their life pursuits?" - Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Education and Cognition, Harvard Graduate School of Education "This book documents simultaneously the challenges of becoming literate for those with dyslexia, and the various routes by which those challenges can be met and overcome. It draws lessons that can be used to improve literacy outcomes for a wide array of struggling readers, including many whose struggles do not derive from learning disabilities." - Catherine E. Snow, Harvard Graduate School of Education"
