Personalized Reading

Due to the diversity of readers in today’s classrooms, teachers are called upon to teach not reading, but readers. Personalized Reading highlights four different types of readers — the struggling reader, the reluctant reader, English learners and advanced readers — and presents ways to use technology tools to accommodate their different reading styles. With this book, teachers will develop the skills they need to help students select their own texts, conduct reading workshops and teach students to read both print and visual texts, while identifying what works best for each student to maximize learning and potential.

The strategies and classroom-ready ideas presented here will help secondary educators empower students with the skills and strategies they need for reading success, and to find joy in reading.
