You probably didn’t begin your journey into education because you wanted to teach reading or literacy. You have a passion for a specific content–math, music, or another field. Yet, to instill a similar passion in your students, you will need to be a teacher of literacy, helping them get the most out of each and every lesson. This book is designed to help you do just that. It’s also designed to follow you beyond this class–through student teaching and your first years of having your own classroom.
