Educational leaders don't always have the time to search through research, translate it into classroom practices, and then figure out how to spread what works school wide--which is why they need books like this. Houck and Novak present clear why's for literacy classroom visits, the how-to's for professional development, and the what's for data collection and analysis. Highly recommended for schools that wish to turn students into the lifelong readers they need to become!

Great book for Principals/building leaders who are attempting to promote and improve literacy in their buildings. Numerous tools and manipulatives to support the change as well.
