Closing the Literacy Gap

Closing the Literacy Gap 9780205456260
At a time when so many pivotal education issues are closely tied to literacy and education policy, such as the No Child Left Behind legislation, Tom Gunning provides critical insight into the key elements needed to close the literacy gap in America’s schools, from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Closing the Literacy Gap addresses the demands of the No Child Left Behind legislation and provides a wide range of recommendations and a great number of practical suggestions for closing the literacy gap. This much-awaited text builds from an early emphasis on creating a vision statement to implementing effective techniques and assessing for instruction. Unlike other texts, Gunning provides a coherent plan for program implementation that has proven to successfully close the literacy gap. The recommendations provided within the text are specific and detailed and are built on basic principles. This text also addresses the needs of the whole school and is written for all practioners, not just principals, which makes it an excellent supplement to any literacy course.
