It’s our goal that every child in every elementary school in America can read fluently by the end of second grade. This book explains how to make that happen – for all children in all classrooms. Meredith and David Liben have spent decades transforming education, working as teachers, researchers, leaders, and founders of an alternative public elementary school in Harlem―the Family Academy. The Libens have been on the front lines of the reading wars since 1994, when the Family Academy’s first cohort of students failed the NYC end of year reading exam and they were confronted with the question: How can a school with plenty of resources, dedication to outstanding instruction, and support for social and emotional learning fail so spectacularly at teaching children how to read?
