Product Description
Giving teachers the confidence they need to teach reading in today’s classrooms, Diane Nettles takes students on a journey of understanding reading as a social endeavor (the whole), of learning to teach the skills children need to be successful readers, and finally, of motivating children to read a lot–the “heart” of learning to read.

Product Description
Founded on the premise that education, especially literacy, should be accessible to all students in a democratic society; the seventh edition of Multiple Paths to Literacy is written to help teachers address the literacy needs of the diverse learners that populate today’s K-12 classrooms. To meet every student’s literacy needs, teachers must learn to differentiate classroom instruction. According to Joan Gipe, differentiating instruction requires knowing where students are in their literacy development and using multiple forms of literacy to meet those needs – including text-based materials, technology, visual literacy, and the performing arts. Multiple Paths to Literacy provides teachers with an analytical approach and practical strategies to recognize learners ’ literacy…

I’ve thought about going to grad school to get a master’s degree, so I can teach ESL to adults. However, someone suggested to me that I might not be able to find a position in which I would be teaching adults, and that I may have to apply for positions in which I would be teaching children. I don’t want to teach kids or teens, though, so would it really be a good idea for me to pursue this?
