“As a Literacy Coach, I’m always on the look out for “teachable” articles and books for the classroom teachers with whom I work. Threads of Reading is an excellent source of new, as well as familiar strategies and presented in a very readable format. We’re using it in a Teachers as Readers group to reinforce our district’s approach to Literacy in the classroom. This book spans early to high school literacy. Well worth the time to read it.”

“This book tells the basics of supporting students with reading disabilities. It is an easy read and full of helpful, practical ideas. Some are ideas for whole classrooms but there are many for one on one instruction as well. I highly recommend this book to other special education and reading instruction teachers.”
T. Yamauchi
“This is a great book for K-3 teachers. I am using this book as a book study in my school district and have had great responses and feedback. The book provides many strategies for the “threads” of reading. It is a user-friendly book that teachers can use and refer back to easily. I highly recommend this book! Karen Tankersley also has a book for 4th-12th grade teachers titled Literacy Strategies for Grades 4-12: Reinforcing the Threads. This book is a great follow-up to this one.”
