"I teach high school math. My daughter was struggling with reading and not getting the help she needed from school. Her teacher seemed to put confidence in the fact that I teach, but I was clueless about teaching reading to a first grader. I was desperate and found The Reading Strategies Book.
Reading the chapter introductions allowed me to pinpoint my child’s needs. I could easily determine which chapter to read thoroughly and which chapters to skim.
I read every chapter and my book is full of post-its. I realized some mistakes I was making (hiding the pictures so that she would read the words, rather than allowing her to use them as a resource), some things I was doing right, and some new things to try. This book has given me the guidance I needed to support my reader.
I have already noticed a difference in our read-aloud time since I began reading. She is gaining confidence because I have been complimenting her “good reader strategiesâ€. Reading has become less stressful because when she gets a word incorrect I have new tools for how to have her correct herself. Rather than just telling her to try again, I have learned to prompt her to look at the first letter, look at the last letter, try a different vowel sound, etc.
I am thrilled with the change this book is already making for my daughter. I even found a strategy or two that I can tweak for my math classes."

The Reading Strategies Book Your Everything Guide to Developing Skilled Readers Jennifer Serravallo Books Reviews
- This AMAZING, MUST HAVE, book is a dream come true for anyone who teaches reading. It is like no other book I've ever read or owned about literacy. Most books about teaching reading require plowing through lots of pages about the author's philosophy and practices before getting to the good stuff...the stuff you can use in the classroom tomorrow. This book is only the "good stuff!" ...from strugglers to gifted students...from pre emergent readers to Level Z readers..... You will find strategies you could walk in your classroom and use the day you receive your book. Every teacher, from classroom teachers to reading specialists to literacy coaches to tutors to home-school teachers, from pre serviice teachers to veteran teachers, will quickly and easily be able to find the strategies they need to teach the students in front of them. And the strategies will help readers at every level internalize skills necessary to read fiction and non fiction, to write and talk about reading, and to read and comprehend with deeper insight. The author, Jennifer Serravallo likens the book to a cookbook that the reader will hopefully outgrow someday, but I can't put it down. It will make you wish you wish it wasn't summer. The inviting, easy to find pages with lots of charts and practical tips will invite you to start tabbing pages, highlighting and organizing yourself for next year! In addition, it's the perfect gift for a teacher friend, or relative. I just ordered two copies for my soon to be teaching daughters. Only one regret... why couldn't this have been published when I started teaching....I would have been such a better teacher!

This books will help identify and create individual goals for learners, determine the appropriate strategy and give you ideas for intervention lessons. Best of all, these can be implemented IN the classroom setting by the teacher.In my experience as an assistant principal, I often got responses like, "He can't read. She struggles with reading. He doesn't try to sound out words. She is not on grade level in reading. He has so may gaps, I don't know where to start." This book will help teachers

give helpful feedback to move the reader forward
