By offering actionable guidance grounded in seven evidence-based principles, this book helps teachers elevate their instructional practices and better prepare students to be lifelong readers and thinkers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrounded in proven classroom instruction, the book focuses on techniques that can allow teachers to use the science as effectively and actionably as possible. \u003ci\u003eThe Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading\u003c\/i\u003e is enhanced with more than 50 video clips from the classroom and covers ways to practically apply the Science of Reading. The book describes the often overlooked role of fluency in reading comprehension, even into the high school years; the profound importance of managing and socializing attention in an age of technology; the central role of background knowledge in understanding text; and the doubly important role of teaching vocabulary as a form of knowledge. It adds a discussion of how writing can make students better readers and how important it is that reading classes focus on reading actual books--great ones, ideally. And it closes with a discussion of close reading and the challenge of preparing students to rise to the challenge of complex text. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInside the book: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn innovative approach to building and reinforcing background knowledge in reading\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOver 50 video demonstrations of effective teaching techniques\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSample lesson plans and materials for immediate classroom application\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading\u003c\/i\u003e is essential for educators, literacy coaches, and administrators who aim to foster rigorous literacy instruction in their classrooms and schools.
