Now in a revised and updated fourth edition with 50% new material, this highly practical book guides teachers to demystify the reading process for K–8 students who are struggling. Thirty detailed lesson examples illustrate ways to explain and scaffold skills and strategies as an integral part of purposeful, motivating reading tasks. Teachers can use these examples as starting points for explicit instruction that meets their own students' particular needs. The book shows how to give students the secrets of understanding--and appreciating--both literature and informational texts. Numerous text boxes clarify key concepts and share adaptations for different grade levels.
