Reading Resources

Reading Rockets, a national multimedia project that looks at how young kids learn to read, offers free downloadable print guides for teachers and parents. This includes a teacher's guide that contains instructional techniques and strategies based on what reading research shows is most effective, as well as a family guide available in Spanish, Hmong and Somali. The family guide is a great resource for teachers to share with the parents of English language learner students. The AFT is a national partner with Reading Rockets, which devotes a section of its Web site on how to help kids who are struggling with reading.
