Delighted to share the just-released second edition of our book on close reading. After two years of work to reflect student interaction with complex, digital text and building reading independence among readers in today’s classrooms, it is amazing to hold the book in our hands!

We're excited to share that Taylor & Francis has now released our second edition of The Literacy Coaching Handbook.
The second book cover just arrived! We love Taylor & Francis. We wanted the cover to represent the importance of literacy coaches using data in collaborative meetings to support student learning. From five different designs, we chose this one. Can’t wait to see the physical copy!
The publishing team from Taylor & Francis just sent us the cover design for the second edition of our book on close reading!
We just hit the send button to our editor. Revisions for the second edition of our book on close reading are done. Excited to see it in print!
After sequestering ourselves for a week, we finished the last of our revisions for the second edition of our book. We sent everything to our editor at 7:00 last night. Next up are the revisions for the second edition of our book on close reading. #coaching
@drdavidsweet Love Wynton Marsalis. He comes to Tanglewood sometimes. I saw Branford Marsalis on my birthday at the Kennedy Center right before the pandemic began. His performance was sublime! I’m so envious of you! Enjoy!!
Just when we were celebrating a request for a 2nd edition of our 2017 book on literacy coaching, our editor at Routledge suggested a 2nd edition of our 2014 book on close reading as well! It’s looking like a very busy few months! #closereading
We just received great news! Our editor at Routledge (Taylor & Francis) contacted us to share the positive impact our books have had on the educational field (such a lovely compliment and one we deeply appreciate) and asked us to write a 2nd edition for our 2017 book. #coaching
Over half of students report reading literary texts outside of school once or twice a year or less. nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/rea…
Little more than 1 in 3 American 12th graders read proficiently and fewer than 1 in 4 performed proficiently in math on the National Assessment of Educational Progress in 2019, marking widening gaps for struggling students in both subjects. blogs.edweek.org/edweek/inside-…
It’s time to bring back social studies. Invaluable in building background knowledge and more sophisticated literacy skills. fordhaminstitute.org/national/resou…
The ongoing crisis of struggling readers isn’t just about children in schools today. It’s about the lives they’ll lead as adults tomorrow.
Kids who aren't successfully reading at grade level by the third grade are four times less likely to finish high school. Just under 20% of high school grads haven't developed basic reading proficiency by the time they don their cap and gown. creditdonkey.com/illiteracy-in-…
New research on the power of prior knowledge edutopia.org/article/resear…
The best way to boost students’ reading comprehension is to teach them knowledge (through social studies, science, art, and music) and vocabulary. The reading gap is a knowledge gap. theatlantic.com/education/arch…

Miss. made the largest gains of any state on the Natl. Assessment of Ed Progress. 4th graders there made the biggest gains in #reading. In "Hard Words" @ehanford tells the story of what's been happening in MS over last few years to improve reading. Listen: apmreports.org/story/2018/09/…
