The Reading Turn-Around: A Five-Part Framework for Differentiated Instruction (Grades 2-5)

Language and Literacy

by Stephanie Jones, Lane W. Clarke, Grace Enriquez

This book demonstrates a five-part framework for teachers, reading specialists, and literacy coaches who want to help their least engaged students become powerful readers. Merging theory and practice, the guide offers successful strategies to reach your “struggling” learners. The authors show how teachers can “turn-around” their instructional practice, beginning with reading materials, lessons, and activities matching their students’ interests. Chapters include self-check exercises that will help teachers analyze their reading instruction, as well as specific advice for working with English Language Learners. Book

The simplicity of this text makes it very approachable to teachers with some background in literacy intervention and can be easily put into use in the classroom. I especially appreciate the practical, easy-to-skim recommendations for lessons and instructional activities.
