Synopsis

Literacy specialists Stephanie Harvey and Annie Ward demonstrate how to use formative assessments to craft targeted, personalized instruction that enable striving readers to do what they need above all - to find books they love and engage in voluminous reading.

Loaded with ready-to-go lessons, routines, and “actions,” as well as the latest research, this book is a must for any teacher who strives to make every reader a thriving reader.

"This is excellent. It’s really practical. Several of the chapters would translate into CPD sessions and I also see potential in this text for ITT whether that be in university or school-based programmes as it takes the ‘what’ of research into reading and turns it into the ‘how’ of practice in easy to digest chapters." Rachel Clarke, Independent Reading Consultant
