Reading is the greatest gift that a teacher can give a child, and having a child love to read is perhaps the best reward for a teacher or parent. However, when learning to read proves difficult for a student, the process is rarely fun. Children are captivated by magic and tricks. When reading strategies are presented as tricks, the process automatically becomes fun and attractive. Reading Tricks for Jordan provides a research-based supplement that can enhance the quality of any sound reading program. The advantage of Reading Tricks for Jordan is that it models the teaching, teaches the lesson of beginning reading strategies, models the learning, and provides an opportunity for students to practice and apply their new knowledge, all in one lesson. This book is interactive and sets up constant practice and follow-up by encouraging the use of these strategies or tricks. Practice is key to students' using these tricks to become independent readers. These strategies are very simple, and they work!
