Publisher's Synopsis
Unlock the power of personalized reading with practical strategies and easy-to-use ideas to engage students in the digital age. In the first edition of this book, the authors identified ways for working with four different types of readers-struggling readers, reluctant readers, English learners, and advanced readers-using technology to accommodate their various reading journeys and learning styles. The second edition identifies a fifth type of reader-the emerging reader-and ways of personalizing instruction to their needs.
With updated research on the science of reading, this book offers strategies for incorporating social-emotional learning, Universal Design for Learning, and active learning strategies to support the diverse readers in your classroom.
Chock-full of classroom-ready ideas to incorporate technology in the middle and high school English language arts classroom, this second edition packs even more:
- Tools and resources to meet the needs of all learners where they are;
- Empowering strategies to help students decide for themselves how they learn best; and
- Hands-on activities that ignite students' personal passions and joy for learning.
