Teaching children to read is highly skilled work, and teaching children whose first language is not English can be particularly challenging.
This video and viewers' guide (sold separately) help educators discover crucial, sophisticated literacy skills that students need but that are second nature to mature readers. The video helps viewers see what is hard about reading words and text, and how teachers can analyze the academic English of texts to support students’ reading. Viewers come away better able to observe their own students’ reading and choose appropriate instructional strategies.
These materials offer essential insights into reading for professional developers, teacher educators, teachers, and others who seek to improve literacy instruction for all students. See the companion Why Reading is Hard Viewers' Guide. Also, the Why Reading is Hard video is included in DVD format in the 2007 edition of What's Different about Teaching Reading to Students Learning English.
