Book Synopsis

Would you like to help someone learn how to read? Do you know high school students or adults who cannot read? Have you seen someone struggle, painfully, to read and wished you could help them improve their reading skills, but you didn't know how? You need look no further! READ! A How-To-Guide For Tutors And Parents will provide the tools you need to become others' favorite teacher! You can gain an understanding of how others learn and teach to their preferred style to reach them. Abraham Lincoln is quoted as having said "Teach the children so it will not be necessary to teach the adults."
Sarah Gardner provides the tools you need to be an effective tutor of reading. She has studied the process of teaching reading from the late 1950's to present day, and has focused on using the best concepts to improving reading. Whether or not you are a fan of phonics or whole-brain-learning methods, READ! A How-To-Guide For Tutors And Parents is a must-read volume. Gardner provides twenty keys to understanding how to effectively reach your student, use their multi-sensory learning style to build their confidence, and teach reading. There is an old adage that "every teacher is a student," and it's true because great teachers are constantly reflecting upon how to teach to their students' learning styles!
READ! A How-To-Guide For Tutors And Parents will enable tutors to teach students of any age and reading ability to prepare for the next level: Pre-Kindergarten - 1st grade, correct 2nd - 3rd grades, 4th grade- (the most important grade of all), middle school, high school, GED/SAT exams, mitigate the effects of dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, and help to correct adult illiteracy.
