Strategies to Teach Reading: Grades 3-6: 4 Books

Four Books On Strategies to Teach Reading

For sale are books I bought when I taught school. These books are brand new and have not been used.  I’m attempting to price these reasonably for home-schooled students or teachers. A description of each is below.

All my items come from a smoke-free and pet-free home. The items I list on Ebay are top quality, in new or excellent to very good condition. I attempt to describe the items as closely as I can so you won't be disappointed when you receive it. I also attempt to keep shipping to a minimum.

1. “How To Teach Reading; For Teachers, Parents, and Tutors” by Edward Fry Ph.D.

Offers tips and advice  on how to improve reading ability, comprehension, and phonics to children or adults up to a 5th grade level.

2. “Classroom Instruction That Works”

What works in education? How do we know? How can teachers find out? How can educational research find its way into the classroom? How can we apply it to help our individual students? Questions like these arise in most schools, and busy educators often don't have time to find the answers. The answers are found in this book.
