Many of us are searching continually for that just-right book
for each and every one of our students. It is my hope to help you
find those books. More importantly, I hope to help you guide
students to the next great book and the one after that. That is the
purpose of Reading Ladders. Because it is not sufficient to find
just one book for each reader. -Teri Lesesne
"I finished the Twilight Series-now what?"
With Reading Ladders, the answer to a question like this can
become the first rung on a student's climb to greater engagement
with books, to full independence, and beyond to a lifetime of
passionate reading.
"The goal of reading ladders," writes Teri Lesesne, "is to
slowly move students from where they are to where we would like
them to be." With reading ladders you start with the authors,
genres, or subjects your readers like then connect them to book
after book-each a little more complex or challenging than the last.
Teri not only shares ready-to-go ladders, but her suggestions will
help you:
- select books to create your own reading ladders
- build a classroom library that supports every student's
needs
- use reading ladders to bolster content-area knowledge and build
independence
- assess where students are at and how far they've climbed.
"If we are about creating lifetime readers and not just readers
who can utilize phonological awareness and context clues to bubble
in answers on a state test," writes Teri Lesesne, "then we need to
help our students form lasting relationships with books and authors
and genres and formats." Use Reading Ladders, help your students
start their climb, and guide them to new heights in reading.
