how do I asses my students, how can I fit it into my instructional schedule, are just some of the questions that are tossed around in discussions about the importance of independent reading. Jennifer Serravallo provides teachers with lots of practical strategies to grow their students' reading abilities. I highly recommend the The Literacy Teacher's Playbook ( K-2 and/or 3-5) as a resource for all teachers. Follow the link to some free resources to assess and teach your readers.
