By fourth or fifth grade, many striving readers have lost their self-confidence and the belief that, with hard work, they can reach a goal. Whether these students were on a computer reading program, in a grade-level basal program, or listening to a required novel, they weren’t reading. Research by Allington, Krashen, Howard, Miller, and Ripp points to the need for students to read wonderful books to develop reading skill and expertise. Voluminous reading is an intervention. This book will suggest ways to organize instruction so students in ELA classes and across the curriculum read voluminously every day. It will explain that there is no program that is the magic bullet for creating schools full of readers. The magic bullet is having skilled teachers who are ongoing learners and class libraries in all subjects, book rooms for storing instructional genre units, and alternate texts on topics studied in content subjects.

This book provides you with concrete strategies and clear information that will enable you to meet your students' needs in today's uncertain climate.Uncertainty surrounds our schools, including lack of funding for teaching materials, book shortages for school libraries, and cuts for resource staff. Many schools are opening with unfilled teaching positions and teachers who are on staff find they have larger classes. This book offers practical ways to organize students so teachers can support those that require extra help as well as show how they can maintain their agency and meet the learning needs of a diverse group. The book includes formative assessments, examples of teaching strategies and lesson plans, teaching tips, self-assessment forms for teachers and students, reflection questions, and literacy snapshots where you can observe how teachers of different grade levels use a strategy or teaching technique with students. With a focus on collaborative student learning and collective teacher efficacy (CTE), the book is full of concrete ideas and strategies to help teachers build a community of learners through the challenges they may face.This is a key resource for any elementary and middle school teachers, new or experienced, as well as administrators, coaches, and resource teachers.
