This insightful book reviews the current research on literacy
programming, examines the latest standards for strengthening
reading skills, and provides educators, families, and caregivers
methods for building successful reading habits in and out of the
classroom. Research indicates that children need more than
classroom instruction to become proficient readers. Unfortunately,
few parents realize how simple, everyday practices can build a
lifelong love of reading. Educators, diligent with employing
mandatory literacy standards, may overlook families and support
systems as tools for improving student performance. This book
provides a comprehensive overview of the various methods of reading
instruction, analyzing the pedagogy behind Sustained Silent Reading
(SSR), the importance of reading aloud to children, and the
necessity of working the home-school connection. For the Love of
Reading: Guide to K-8 Reading Promotions provides strategies and
tips for setting up successful reading environments for children,
including having a well-stocked library collection; engaging
students through book clubs, reading lists, and prepared book
talks; and involving student and adult volunteers. The author
asserts that the entire school community-teachers, librarians,
parents, caregivers, and administrators-must work together to
promote literacy. Includes a step-by-step implementation and
explanation of each reading program Features forms, book talks,
recommended book lists, photographs, and valuable websites Provides
literacy workshop agendas for parents and caregivers Offers methods
for soliciting and working with literacy volunteers Each reading
program is described in detail to facilitate replication at public
schools, public libraries, and home-schools An extensive list of
vendors, professional development materials, and websites offer
additional teaching support Prepared book talks, reading lists, and
templates for programs provide the basis for immediate
implementation Reading programs proven successful in inner city,
