Nearly 40% of all fourth graders in this country cannot read at
grade level, and this number rises to 60% for children coming from
poor families. This gap in learning increases as students go
through grade school and is a primary reason for school failure.
Ironically, this problem comes at a time when there is research to
demonstrate that nearly all children can learn to read if taught
using research-based instruction. Here, the authors describe the
principles of this research in language that non-educators can
understand and educators can use. It discusses how to recognize
whether the research on reading is being used appropriately, and if
not, how to make that happen. Through the eyes of parents and
educators who have succeeded in their own struggles to change the
educational system, the book provides the reader with the tools and
knowledge for transforming the way reading is taught in their
children's classrooms. This book takes the reader step-by-step
through an understanding of the research on reading and ways in
which a single, determined person can make a difference in the
learning ability of every student in our nation's schools. Part One
is a series of chapters written by individuals who discuss what
they experienced during these battles and what made them
successful. Part Two is written by a series of experts who describe
how they have overcome the challenges involved in creating
widespread change in school systems. The appendix is filled with
resources-people, places, sample tools, a glossary and bibliography
to help the reader.
