One Child at a Time: Making the Most of Your Time with Struggling Readers
Pat Johnson
All primary school teachers deal with pupils who struggle as readers on a daily basis. The author provides a framework to help teachers understand and assist individual children. The four-step process outlined in the book:
- enables teachers to focus on specific strategies and behaviours;
- analyse them with theoretical and practical lenses;
- design targeted instruction in keeping with current research on reading process;
- assess and refine the teaching in conferences with the child.
The framework is by no means an easy answer to a difficult problem, but through its use teachers learn how the reading process works for proficient readers and how to support struggling readers as they construct their own reading process.
Suitable for use with a range of learners, including young children, English language learners, and students in the primary classes who are stalled in their literacy progress.
