Transferable Literacy Strategies for Younger Readers is a flexible guidebook that teaches fundamental literacy skills.

We developed this guidebook so that learners can open any book or article and have the tools to understand the fundamental components of that text successfully. The literacy strategies are transferable, so they can be used from elementary school to college for fiction and nonfiction.

Reviews

As a first-year teacher, Transferable Literacy Strategies has been a hugely helpful tool to simplify and structure my thinking around how to present key concepts for reading comprehension. I’ve introduced this resource’s systems for annotating, finding central idea, and determining the genre of a text in my classroom, and have found its approaches to be straightforward and easy to understand – both for me and for my students. Plus, I’ve been able to use charts provided as inspiration for anchor charts and graphic organizers. Would highly recommend to any other first-year teachers–or teachers at any point in their career–looking for simple but effective approaches to reading comprehension!
