A Declaration of Readers' Rights: Renewing Our Commitment to Students

by Jo Ann F. Bass

Declare Your Readers’ Rights! Often school literacy programs fall short of properly supporting preadolescents' and adolescents' literacy development. In A Declaration of Readers' Rights , this dynamic author team presents a research-based "rights" framework that addresses ten key rights for improving literacy development among adolescents . Reviewers Can’t Put This Book Down! “I think this text is one that should be in the library of every reading specialist.” ­­—Heidi Davey, Hoffman Estates High School, IL “I think the topics in this book are timely and provide a wake up call for all reading teachers. We must remember that not all students arrive in school ready to pick up and run with the reading instruction we provide. Good reading instruction coupled with quality reading experiences must be seen as a right and not just a privilege.” —Molly Williams, Still Middle School, IL Why This Book Will Change the Way You Teach Reading!
