"A practical approach that is essential for today's teachers . . . The hands-on strategies and graphics can be used with little extra effort on the part of the teacher."
Sarah J. McNary, San Dieguito Union High School District, California

"I applaud the authors' understanding and respect for the children of diverse backgrounds and their recommendations on how teachers can handle them in a sensitive but effective manner. . . . New teachers especially, who feel challenged by this, would appreciate the guidance and support."

Use high pay-off instructional strategies to accelerate literacy learning in the differentiated classroom!

  • Selecting and differentiating an array of instructional strategies appropriate for specific learner needs
  • Using literacy models that can accelerate learning to help diverse learners grow as fast and as far as they can in literacy
Written for classroom teachers, reading specialists, curriculum developers, and instructional leaders, this one-stop source provides an expert guide to working with all of today's adolescent and teen learners, whether struggling, gifted, emerging, developing, or dealing with learning disabilities.
