 It's in the Bag (Book Study Project)

"It’s in the Bag" is a professional development book study project designed to further teachers’ study of evidence-based literacy research, practices and strategies.  This is accomplished through group discussions and individual classroom experiences based upon the shared readings of professional books. 

When selecting a book from the “It’s in the Bag” collection, you will receive 10 copies of the book and the facilitator’s guide for up to 8 weeks.  The only cost to you is the initial shipping.  The cost of the return shipping will be incurred by ESBOCES and a return shipping label will be provided.

 Teach Them All to Read

Author: Elaine K. McEwan

Publisher: Corwin Press (2002)

Teach Them All to Read focuses on the issues surrounding reading failure and provides extensive guidelines for preventing it.  Chpater 1 answers the following questions: which students are falling through the cracks?  Why are they falling, and why are there so many?  Chapter 2 explains why an action plan is necessary in addressing the problem and describes the nine "Pieces of the Reading Puzzle."  Subsequent chapters expand the description of those puzzle pieces.  Chapter 3 looks at phonological awareness, phonics and spelling.  Chpater 4 deals with the importance of fluency.  Chpater 5 looks at the essentials of comprehension: language, knowledge, and cognitive strategies.  Chpater 6 gives us ways in which we can get our students to read extensively.  Chapter 7 gives us a view of three schools and their before and after success stories.  The concluding chapter is an extensive explanation of how to create the reading culture necessary to "Teach Them All to Read."  Also included are several practical resource sections: a list of phonics readers, brain-based reading activities, a description of Project Pride, a lesson sequence, and finally, several useful checklists and forms.
