Teaching Reading Strategies
Author: Mark Pennington

Teaching Reading Strategies provides teachers of upper elementary, middle school, high school, and adult remedial readers all the user-friendly resources they need to turn their students into fluent readers in the shortest amount of instructional time. Which students will benefit from Teaching Reading Strategies? Students who are two or more gra... more »de levels behind in reading, English language-learners, and students with learning disabilities. What makes Teaching Reading Strategies so different than other remedial reading programs? Rather than starting each learner from scratch and at the same level of instruction, students are quickly and accurately assessed and then provided with the instructional materials and targeted instruction that will allow students to progress as rapidly as possible. Students see direct benefit and pay-off in each lesson. Instead of tedious practice in a reading skill already mastered, students feel challenged each day and learn quickly because they monitor their own progress. As a by-product, students improve self-esteem, classroom behavior, and motivation to learn. Despite the specificity and sophistication of the Teaching Reading Strategies resources, the procedures and activities assume very little prior experience in reading instruction. This book has been written by a teacher for teachers and their students. Busy teachers appreciate the Learn How to Teach This Program in 10 Minutes approach. Prep time is minimized to allow teaching almost on the fly. Record keeping is extensive, but efficient, and is designed to be part of instruction. So what do teachers get in the Teaching Reading Strategies book? Teachers get 13 quick, multiple-choice (whole-class) diagnostic assessments recorded on two CDs. Assessments cover alphabetic awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics, rimes, high-frequency morphemes, and sight words. At last! Reliable diagnostic tests that won't take up valuable instructional time, but will allow the teacher to accurately pinpoint student strengths and weaknesses. Teachers get 39 phonemic awareness workshops, 36 phonics workshops (with 9 formative assessments), and 19 sight words workshops to truly differentiate instruction, according to the diagnostic data. Teachers get a full instructional program of whole-class blending and syllabication activities. They also get 43 expository comprehension strategy worksheets, 390 flashcards (including sound-spelling cards), posters, and instructional games galore. Teachers also get 7 CDs with 43 expository fluency passages. Each passage has been recorded at 3 different speeds from 3rd to 7th grade reading levels, to provide optimal repeated reading practice for the diverse needs of remedial readers. Finally, teachers get the satisfaction of knowing that they are able to change the lives of their students by using the very best research-based, teacher-tested, and student-approved remedial reading instructional strategies and resources--Teaching Reading Strategies.
