Danielle Vinton did it again! I am so glad she offered this course because it connected perfectly with the other course I took with her, Sold a Story: How the Three-Cueing System Has Failed Readers. The two courses complement each other incredibly well and deepened my understanding of literacy instruction from both a research and practical perspective.
I highly recommend this course to educators of all grade levels and content areas. Reading is a skill that impacts every subject, and all teachers play a role in supporting student literacy. If you're looking for effective strategies to help students engage with and understand complex texts, this course provides a wealth of resources and ideas you can implement right away.
This was one of the most valuable professional learning experiences I've had, and it's a course I will continue to reference throughout the school year. Whether you teach elementary, middle, or high school, you'll walk away with tools and strategies that will help you better support your students as readers.

Reaching All Readers was a perfect course for this veteran teacher. The instructor Danielle and the text helped me gain the knowledge of how literacy instruction has and is changing to help our current students who are struggling. The author of the book,Anna Geiger, is knowledgeable and offers so much practical and user friendly strategies. You are introduced to her Measured Mom site that offers you a large bank of ideas and research based activities.

Great course for those who need that READ Act knowledge. The text and website used are so useful with many lesson ideas and materials for hands on reading instruction!
