Reading skills and strategies aren't an automatic process for most students. Great Habits, Great Readers highlights how to teach students habits that lead to the skills of successful, fluent, reading for students in Grades K-4. Outlining these strategies, systems, and lessons, the "Reading-by-Habit" model builds a bridge between Common Core and the real-life needs of your class. Five styles of lessons are included: read-aloud, comprehension skills, phonics, guided reading, and independent reading. In addition, a DVD with over forty video clips provides a visual example of what this style of reading instruction looks like. 457 pages, indexed, softcover.

A book that brings the habits of reading to life

Great readers are not made by genetics or destiny but by the habits they build—habits that are intentionally built by their teachers. The early formal years of education are the key to reversing the reading gap and setting up children for success. But K-4 education seems to widen the gap between stronger and weaker readers, not close it. Today, the Common Core further increases the pressure to reach high levels of rigor. What can be done?

This book includes the strategies, systems, and lessons from the top classrooms that bring the habits of reading to life, creating countless quality opportunities for students to take one of the most complex skills we as people can know and to perform it fluently and easily.

Offers clear teaching strategies for teaching reading to all students, no matter what level
Includes more than 40 video examples from real classrooms
Written by Paul Bambrick-Santoyo, bestselling author of Driven by Data and Leverage Leadership

Great Habits, Great Readers puts the focus on: learning habits, reading habits, guided reading, and independent reading.
