It changes the way we think, the way we see the world, the way we process information and dream new thoughts. It allows us to discover more about ourselves and the world around us so that we might become better versions of ourselves, so we might fully participate in our communities and our nation, so that we might flourish intellectually, emotionally, creatively, and socially as passionate and compassionate beings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And when we don't read, when kids \u003cem\u003ecan't\u003c\/em\u003e read, all that is gone. We lose that ability to learn in this transformative way. We run the risk of being manipulated by others. We are diminished. And in that moment of being less, all around us might suffer, too. Our understanding of complex issues then becomes dependent on what someone else tells us. When kids can't read the result is far worse than lowered test scores. The result is an illiterate life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This new and updated second edition recognizes that helping kids who struggle with reading means knowing how to help kids with: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehension: literal and inferential meaning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWord Work: phonics, fluency, spelling, and vocabulary\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngagement: required and independent reading, relevance, and motivation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen Kids Can't Read \u003c\/em\u003erecounts my journey with one student who changed the course of my professional career, and it is your guidebook for your own journey with your students as you discover \u003cem\u003eWhat Teachers Can Do\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e --Kylene Beers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKylene Beers, Ed.D., is a former middle school teacher who has turned her commitment to adolescent literacy and struggling readers into the major focus of her research, writing, speaking, and teaching.
