About the Book

Teaching professionals encounter students at varying levels of literacy proficiency and achievement. Negotiating Literacy Learning brilliantly illustrates eight real-life examples of children who struggle with reading, outlining the steps eight master teachers take to diagnose and remediate those problems. The cases shared in this text identify reading difficulties that teachers typically encounter in their classrooms, walking readers through each teacher's method for negotiating learning. Cases are organized in a clear and succinct manner, beginning with assessments followed by an instructional decision-making process to demonstrate a methodology you can follow to ensure that your students reach their literacy potential. This book is for all professionals who believe that teaching requires a commitment to learning from and listening to students in order to improve teaching responses.

About the Author :
Janine Bixler, an associate professor at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, New York has been involved in literacy education for more than twenty years as a classroom teacher, consultant, and teacher educator. The focus of her research and teaching is on supporting teachers to work with urban children as young readers, writers, and communicators, both in and out of the classroom.

Review :
I find the topics covered across the chapters to be quite comprehensive in terms of the problems encountered by struggling readers and the problem solving challenges faced by teachers. I think (the text) should have a wide audience of teachers who are hungry to reconnect with the motivation that drew them to teaching in the first place and who are eager to learn from other teachers. I found this text to be quite inspirational. Barbara Pettegrew, Otterbein College
