Teach Them ALL to Read: Catching the Kids Who Fall Through the Cracks
This book is so valuable! I would recommend it to any educator or parent. Elaine McEwan hits all the important points, supports them with research, and still makes the book reader-friendly! (Jeannie Wanzek, Research Assistant)Teach Them ALL to Read examines the top ten fallacies in current reading instruction that contribute to reading failure in our schools. It gives me insights into current research, effective strategies and the pieces of the literacy puzzle that must be in place so that every child in school learns to read. (Kathy Ryan, Reading Specialist)A must-have for teachers, student teachers, and academic libraries supporting reading programs. (CHOICE, February 2003)It is the most complete summary of reading with accompanying multiple research citations that I have come across. It will certainly shake up formerly held ideas/beliefs about reading, with accompanying research-based strategies. (Barry Stark, Principal)Reassuringly for educators, McEwan shares instructive research findings, sensible do’s and don’ts for teachers, and strategies for creating a schoolwide reading culture. McEwan admonishes her readers to ‘take what you have learned and put it to work in your school.’ Easy to do! (Cathie West, Principal)
