Books : When Kids Can't Read: What Teachers Can Do: A Guide for Teachers 6-12
Rating: 
- Improve your kid's reading abilities
Kylene Beers has done an excellent job of collecting and introducing a number of strategies and other practical tips to help teachers, parents and anyone else interested in improving kids' abilities to read. Although this book was used as the textbook for one of my college courses, it does not read like a typical textbook at all. I would recommend this book to anyone in or outside the classroom.

- What can be gained? From steve
I have not read this book nor am I a teacher, but have a question. Does this book help with other professionals and adults? For example someone who knows science and takes Calculus improves comprehension analytically? Or someone who knows spelling and now uses shapes for math may help in identifying, say, words? So, not to just teach the kids how to read but to help them with their profession (outside of just teaching) or with their everyday activity/living too? Sorta like self empowerment. Thanks! Steve
Sorry for the negative rating. I just want to be indifferent about it and I cannot put zero stars.
Rating: - Help for Middle and High School Teachers
This book has a lot of ideas to help teachers of middle school and high school. It contains examples of many strategies for phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
If you are stuck on a particular student and can't figure out what to do to help them, read this book and find help.
This book is also good for content area teachers who need help with their struggling readers.
Rating: - Beer's text satisfaction
This book provides excellent practical advice for teachers and specific strategies to help middle and high school students who struggle with reading. Most teachers will find this book easy to understand and apply to their day work of endeavoring to get kids into literature, regardless of whether or not the students are independent readers.
Rating: - The book that started it all!
I am a fist-year English teacher serving in a low-performing high school (based on states tests scores)in an inner-city public school district. I struggled to teach on-level text to below grade level students. Once I found this book, I felt like I had a master teacher standing next to me as I taught me students how to use strategies to create meaning from text. The title of this book is befitting of its content because when my students lacked comprehension, I had specific strategies to aid their understanding. Direct instruction of these strategies is based in cooperative learning. Hands down, this warmly written book equipped my students with the ability to comprehensively read any text that any teacher gives them.
Main contents of the book covers reading strategies, vocabulary, fluency, phonics, literary discussions, the reading process, philosophy on direct instruction of reading strategies, and cooperative learning.
