This is such a teacher friendly book that concisely synthesizes research and provides tangible ways to apply it with students. After many courses and books that have left me feeling like “Okay, that’s good to know but how do I make it happen in my room with my learners and resources” this book really provides that. The abundance of scripted examples and free resources are awesome. Highly recommend for elementary teachers!

So good- exactly what all teachers need! She shares her journey many of us can relate to- we knew our students needed more in reading instruction, but what. She shares her struggle of “what do you mean Im teaching reading incorrectly”
