Publisher's Synopsis
"With literacy rates at record-low levels, reading teachers around the United States have realized that the balanced literacy approach schools have used for decades simply isn't working, and the science of reading might be the answer. More structured than its balanced literacy counterpart, the science of reading emphasizes phonemic awareness in addition to vocabulary and comprehension. It's Possible! A Leadership Plan for Implementing Quality Reading Instruction and Ensuring Literacy for All by Pati Montgomery and Angela Hanlin addresses the role of school leaders in ensuring literacy instruction is equitable. By deeply understanding the use of assessment, intervention, and data in successful reading instruction, leaders can support teachers in their mission to increase reading proficiency for all students"--.
