Momentum: Empowering Children to Read Through Passion, Partnerships and Practice - Paperback

by Janine Roy (Author)

The ability to read, think critically, and make informed decisions about what you read is the imperative of our time. Making sure every child learns to read is vital. Ensuring that this feat is accomplished by the end of Third Grade is essential, as research indicates that Third Grade reading ability has long-term impacts on an individual's job prospects, health, and even how well they will fare in old age.

Momentum is an equity-centered guide to empower young readers to learn to read by fostering their passion and helping teachers to partner with colleagues and families to increase reading practice.

Momentum provides ready-made research-based systems, strategies, and checklists to:

• Foster belonging at school, especially for students furthest from educational justice
• Nurture a love of school and learning to read
• Empower every child to learn to read by the end of Third Grade
• Develop effective family partnerships
• Collaborate with colleagues to cultivate professional joy!
