Many literacy experts are familiar with Ken Macrorie’s classic Writing to Be Read (3rd ed., 1986). In a twist, this book embraces the idea that writing improves when students learn to read better through close reading and critical thinking practices that go beyond mere comprehension. The authors promote inclusive teaching practices in literacy instruction through the principles of universal design for learning (UDL), a multisensory approach to teaching, and scaffolded literacy activities for special needs students. Chapters cover language arts teaching, content area reading and writing, essay writing, poetry, vocabulary, sentence structure, and the use of reading skills to edit one’s own writing. Each chapter includes background information for teachers about why selected literacy practices work. All activities are preceded by learning objectives and are followed up with suggestions for assessment. Text boxes contain ideas for adjusting materials for students with special needs. The authors align reading and writing standards with Common Core. They devote a lot of material to motivating students with "authentic writing experiences" by allowing them to choose what to write about and how they wish to write. Recommended for preservice teachers and teachers in the field. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and practitioners.
