High Impact Reading Instruction and Intervention in the Primary Years

"Knowing Julie professionally as I do, I sense her teacher voice in the words of this book, and the passion for her subject shines through on each page. She marries practice with pedagogy with ease, drawing upon her years of experience and of reflection of what works well in the classroom. I have seen Julie putting these words into action in the years before she put them into print. Thank you for sharing your advice so eloquently, enabling other teachers and children to benefit from your expertise."""" -- Zoe Sharman, retired Headteacher, London. """"This book is essential reading for all passionate teachers. It is beneficial for both experienced teachers in providing up-to-date best practice recommendations and for new teachers, to guide them through a seemingly complicated process in a gentle, manageable way. Julie clearly explains all elements of teaching reading, supported by relevant international research, in a friendly, approachable manner. This book is full of practical ideas and useful resources to benefit every primary teacher in their quest to improve literacy standards for all students within their classroom."""" -- Diane Pursell, Teacher, WA. """"This easy-to-read, yet thoroughly comprehensive and informative, book academically outlines through the eyes of a mum, educator and literacy consultant the many areas of classroom practice and interventions that will 'shift' your students. Julie dives deep into the science of reading and other research-backed practices to provide educators with a useable handbook to drive learning. For schools like ours that are prioritising the provision of research-based high-quality reading instruction and intervention across all grades, it is a must read."""" -- Donna Reeves, Principal, Tumut Public School, NSW. """"It was such a pleasurable experience reading this book. It was well written with warmth (the same way Julie presents) shining through. Although it was absolutely packed with information, it was not dry like some academic texts. I found it to be so comprehensive and well sequenced. The literacy block is like an onion - made up of multiple layers, and Julie made clear each layer and brought it all together with cohesion. There were great examples included to help cement understanding. The RTI and goal setting was covered extremely well. Huge congratulations! This is a text that will clearly help teachers to build their capacity around high impact reading instruction."""" -- Tamara Johansen, Literacy Leader, Humpty Doo Primary School, NT. - -"
