Book description
Imagine a classroom where all students are engaged in highly rigorous
and fun learning every single day. That classroom can be yours
starting tomorrow.
You don't have to be a reading specialist to pick up this book.
Anyone who wants to dramatically improve reading achievement will find
helpful suggestions. You might be a third grade teacher whose students
have mastered decoding, and you are ready to build their
comprehension. Or you might be a high school science teacher whose
students aren't yet reading on level with deep critical thinking. This
book is for you. It doesn't matter whether you are a public, charter,
private, or alternative education teacher: the Reading Without Limits
program works in each one.
Along with hundreds of ready-to-use teaching strategies, Reading
Without Limits comes with a supplemental website where teachers
can download even more resources for free!
Reading Without Limits is the first book offered in the KIPP
Educator Series. KIPP, or the Knowledge is Power Program, began in
1994. As of Fall 2012, there are 125 KIPP schools in 20 states and the
District of Columbia serving nearly 40,000 students climbing the
mountain to and through college.
Maddie Witter is a founding teacher of KIPP Infinity Charter
School, one of the top-performing middle schools in New York City. At
KIPP Infinity, Maddie taught literacy, and was the school's founding
director of instruction where she supervised teacher development and
curriculum for the reading, writing, content, and nonfiction studies programs.
