Program 2019-2020:
From Striving to Thriving: 
How to Grow Confident, Capable Readers
Stephanie Harvey & Annie Ward

“When it comes to readers who need the most support, teachers can't afford to waste time using fragmented, skill-and-drill interventions that don't work. Literacy specialists Stephanie Harvey and Annie Ward demonstrate how to “table the labels” and use detailed formative assessments to craft targeted, personalized instruction that enable striving readers to do what they need above all - to find books they love and engage in voluminous reading. Loaded with ready-to-go lessons, routines, and “actions,” as well as the latest research, this book is a must for any teacher who strives to make every reader a thriving reader.”

Spanish Booklet
A must have book for parents of young children including preschoolers and kindergartners. We need to help our potential elementary age children with the skills that lead to success as readers and writers. This booklet, published by The Literacy Connection in English and in Spanish, highlights many natural, everyday opportunities parents have to talk, tell stories, and share books with their children. These practices make a significant difference in learning to read and write.  

The booklet was written by Dr. Moira McKenzie, Dr. Martha King, Peggy Oxley, Lynda Mudre, Jean Sperling, Kathleen Taps, and Nancy Blume.  The cost is $2.00 per copy and is available upon request. Please send an email to Kathleen Taps at ktaps@icloud.com. Shipping and handling costs will need to be determined.
