Description: "How Giggle Poetry Reading Lessons Turn Struggling Readers into Happy Readers -- Many struggling readers are embarrassed to read aloud. They are often intimidated or bored by texts reading specialists require them to practice. So, instead of catching up, they are falling further behind. Currently 67% of American fourth graders can't read grade-level text. Reading specialist Amy Buswell has spent eight years looking for remediation methods that work. So why not use Lansky's kid-tested poems as texts struggling readers could practice on to improve their reading- using six research-based strategies?"--
