ASCD Talks with Author Steve Gardiner
Building Student Literacy Through Sustained Silent Reading
(October 2005 Book)
|
This book offers a powerful strategy for teachers who want to improve their students' reading ability: Let students choose what they read and give them time to read it. Author Steve Gardiner demonstrates convincingly that giving students 15 minutes of uninterrupted reading time each day can help them achieve greater success in school and develop lifelong reading habits. This simple and inexpensive program also gives students a valuable gift: the joy of reading.
This interview was conducted by Director of ASCD Book Acquisitions & Development Scott Willis.
