Many of the strategies and activities we will talk about are from our latest book. Get a free sample.

The Science of Reading for Grades 4-12: Every Subject, Every Day!

by Katherine S. McKnight, Ph.D. and Jenny French, Ed.D.

70 classroom activities/strategies. Each one includes:

  • List of Skills so you can identify the relevant reading rope strand.

  • Teaching Instructions prepare you to confidently use the strategy in your very own classroom.

  • Pro Tips from Katie & Jen, because there’s nothing like having a mentor to guide you.

  • “Look Fors” to help with assessment.

  • Reference Citations so you’ll know the research behind each activity.

  • Resources like reproducible graphic organizers, to save you time and effort..

  • Student Samples that illustrate work from students just like yours.

  • Room to make it your own - there’s plenty of space for notes so you can customize the book with “This worked!” and “Next time I’m going to try” reminders.
