Review Quotes

Dr. Marjorie Schiering has written yet another book that commands its rightful place on the educator's bookshelf. There is detailed information about oral and silent reading, reading strategies, how the strategies are adapted to the classroom, and which students are to be targeted. Social and emotional learning (SEL) is underscored, and Schiering includes activities to guide classroom teachers.

Professor Schiering provides direct takeaways including lessons with differentiated approaches to support a variety of learners, extension activities, and assessments. To further the meaning of the book, she shares stories and anecdotes to help the readers make connections to the real-life aspects of learning to read through writing and how building relationships with students is essential in lifting them up as they navigate what success means for them.

This book is a practical guide and an excellent resource for teaching reading. Processing styles, ability levels, and the composition of reading strategies are all given attention. Dr. Schiering makes complex teaching strategies easy to comprehend and encourages readers to reflect on their own teaching practices and to participate actively in the learning process. The short stories in Chapter 16 bring yet another opportunity for students to discuss the fundamentals of reading and be cognitively involved with the story plot, self-efficacy, and engagement in learning.
