ABSTRACT
We found that the more we layered our knowledge about reading process, the better equipped we became for teaching readers who struggle with that process. We hope to ease that load by sharing our knowledge about reading process and sharing our experiences with teaching struggling readers in the classroom. It is important to be aware of our language and a child’s response to it in order to teach effectively. Teachers talking and learning together is what energizes and motivates the people to do our best work with children. By remaining lifelong learners, we will risk making ourselves vulnerable. At times, grappling with new ideas or living with unanswered questions is what helps the people grow and become better teachers of reading. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
