Overview

Students deserve an approach to teaching that prioritizes their learning, which is exactly what Love and Literacy provides. It's a program that honors the science behind repeated reading success and the magic of creating a class that loves reading. It's about all the moves that bring these two together. It's about remembering why we fell in love with reading--and passing that experience on to a new generation. In other words, this book is a love story.

The book is organized in five sections that respond to essential, thoughtful questions that the authors and their colleagues have asked in their own work: What's your dream for kids? What will you see when students "get it"? What will you hear when students get it? How do you create a culture where reading thrives? How do I get started?

At the end of each chapter, the authors recap the essential ideas in a Core Ideas box. Below that they list Takeway Techniques. These are the major habits and skills introduced in the chapter. Each term is defined and will reappear in the Self-Evaluation Rubric in "How do I get started?" Put It In Practice provides 3 high-leverage changes you can make to your teaching based on the chapter's Core Ideas, most of which can be carried out immediately in the classroom. Lastly, Questions for Reflection is an opportunity to consider the Love and Literacy approach from a theoretical or application-based perspective.
