Overview

Go further in your effort to implement best practices for teaching reading and literacy by using the research-based tools in this ASCD Action Tool. Building on Volume 1 of ASCD's Reading Strategies for the Content Areas, this binder provides 80 more Reading Tools for helping teachers in every grade and subject continue to improve their students' reading skills and deepen their understanding of academic concepts.

Once teachers identify reading problems in an individual student--or classroomwide--they can quickly intervene with a research-based strategy for improvement. Each tool includes complete how-to-use instructions, teacher materials for classroom use, classroom examples, and a template for student assignments.

There are guidelines for how to differentiate strategies for student differences, plus advice on building an individual or schoolwide professional development plan for improving students' reading performance.
