Reading Revealed: 50 Expert Teachers Share What They Do and Why They Do It

Uncover the why, what, and how of research-informed reading instruction!

Fifty award-winning literacy educators contribute more than thirty-five “engagements”—student-focused, classroom-tested instructional and assessment actions—to strengthen the reader in every child, while reinforcing one essential fact: reading is about constructing meaning. The book is organized in a four-part framework: Knowing Reading, Knowing Readers, Engaging Readers, and Knowing the Language to Use.

Each engagement includes:

• A brief introduction
• Why?—Benefits of the engagement
• Who?—Students that would benefit most from the engagement
• How?—Materials and instructions for effective implementation
• Closure/Stepping Back—Concluding the engagement
• How’s It Going? Informal Assessment
• Sources for more information

With helpful tips, photos, callouts for additional stories and videos found at scholastic.com/ReadingRevealedResources, an appendix of forms, and lists of professional titles and children’s literature, Reading Revealed offers indispensable support for helping students approach reading strategically and joyfully.
