LETRS, Module 1: The Challenge of Learning To Read

by Louisa Cook Moats

"The first module in the LETRS series explores the reasons why many students have reading difficulties and explains how children learn to read. Case studies illustrate the progression of reading development; the influences of biological, genetic, cognitive, environmental, and instructional factors in learning to read; and the components of effective reading instruction. A "four-part processing system" model is explored in detail."--p. [4] of cover.

Informative, yet to the point. This book is a great setup for the other modules to come.

Well organized. Currently doing the blended PD, with online support for the text. It's a great setup. I believe my text is an updated version.

The Challenge of Learning to Read gives the basic steps of how a student learns to read. The book gives tips on how to teach reading and how a teacher can figure out how to help a student that needs intervention. It also gives a description of RtI and what the Tiered Instruction Model is and which students should be in each tier.
