This book is designed for teachers, tutors, parents, and paraprofessionals who want to help students develop their ability to read and write. This can be done without having to buy the fancy, expensive programs that for profit publishing companies insist are the key to success. All you need are the very simple, research-based strategies described in this book, plus paper, pencils, and a lot of good books to read. The activities here can be done individually, in small group, and with a little imagination, with a large group. [+/-]

If you are looking to spend a lot of money and get little in return, this is not the product for you. However, if you’re looking for some simple, effective, research-based strategies to use for teaching reading and writing, this is the book for you.
