The Power of Effective Reading Instruction How Neuroscience Informs Instruction Across All Grades and Disciplines

"Research demonstrates that when students don't build strong reading skills, their performance in school and ability to succeed in life decline. With more students considered illiterate or struggling with reading challenges each year, it's imperative that teachers have research-supported tools and strategies that effectively target the reading skills students need to thrive. In The Power of Effective Reading Instruction: How Neuroscience Informs Instruction Across All Grades and Disciplines, Karen Gazith explores the neuroscience research on how children learn to read and discusses how it should inform reading practices in schools. She proposes that reading instruction should not be limited to language arts teachers; rather, it is a shared responsibility among educators across content areas if schools hope to improve historically low literacy rates. With this research-packed guide, educators will have the resources they need to effectiv
