AWESOME resource that answers the question of "What do I do now that I know where my kids are struggling?" This book offers specific strategies that can be incorporated whole class, small group, centers/stations or one on one. Great ideas to share with parents when they ask what can I do to help my child become a better reader. Well worth the money and time. Organized and easy to read. Easy to find specific strategies too.
