Recenzii
"Literacy is an issue of equity. Students who are less proficient in reading and writing are likely to be disadvantaged for life in many important areas. This book presents an eminently readable and practical approach to closing the literacy gap, from an author who knows his stuff. Gunning has spent his career working with underperforming schools and struggling readers. He offers actionable approaches and resources that can make a true difference in the literacy lives of all students—especially those about whom we worry most.”--Timothy Rasinski, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Literacy Education, Kent State University
"This book is a great tool that should be a go-to for teachers, curriculum coaches, and administrators. Gunning provides a roadmap for creating an equitable reading program that meets students where they are and gives them the best opportunity to grow in their reading. I definitely will be returning to, highlighting, and sticky-noting this book!"--Kari Richards, MEd, fifth-grade teacher, Carmel Elementary School, Clarksville, Tennessee
