Teachers are often asked to become reading coaches with little or no training and without any real understanding of what they should be doing. The Reading Coach clarifies and maps the increasingly important classroom role of the reading coach and is a must-have for all coaches, peer colleagues, and school administrators. By using this straightforward guide, coaches will be able to dramatically improve the reading skills of their students. Includes numerous activities for individuals, partners, and small groups.

The Reading Coach 2, the new companion to Book 1, extends and builds on the information presented in the first book by exploring new topics and digging deeper into key aspects of coaching. Book 2 features a detailed overview of the Systematic Problem Solving and Collaborative Planning approach to coaching and offers more guidance on how to work with reluctant teachers.
