Creating Reading Instruction for All Children

This book will not tell you how to teach reading. Teaching reading is in large measure a matter of making choices: Should you use basal readers or children's books, or both? Should you teach children to read whole words or to sound out words letter by letter, or both? Should you have three reading groups or four, or no groups? There are no right answers to these questions. The answers depend on your personal philosophy, your interpretation of the research, the level at which you are teaching, the kinds of students you are teaching, community preferences, and the nature of your school or school district's reading program.

This book will not tell you how to teach reading."

Yet, in the world of literacy instruction, teachers often feel as though they are battling equally severe and frightening conditions that hinder literacy success.

In addition to each of the five essential components of reading identified by the National Reading Counsel, other complementary topics result in a combination of tried and true strategies along with new possibilities for 21st century literacy instruction. Slaying the Dragons: 21st Century Literacy considers several causes of literacy failure. Modifications for ELL students, gifted and talented and other exceptionalities show up adjacent to strategies. In addition, technology modifications offer methods of differentiating. Through a source in the text, teachers gain an opportunity to create their own adapted materials. The text format for SLAYING THE DRAGONS accommodates a readers eyes by providing short lines of print, bold text to indicate important vocabulary words and bullets to signify steps or sequence.
