Gail is the co-author of Reading, Writing, and Gender: Instruction Strategies & Classroom Activities that Work for Girls & Boys (Eye on Education, 2002).
Girls and boys approach reading and writing differently, and boys are lagging behind girls in many assessments of literacy learning. This book does more than describe and explain these differences. It builds on the authors’ state of the art research to offer instructional strategies and classroom activities to help both girls and boys develop as readers and writers.
This book is for classroom teachers in grades 3 - 8 as well as for reading specialists, instructional leaders and other educators. It provides
detailed descriptions of instructional activities, accompanied by reproducible tools and materials
illustrative examples of student work
concise summaries of state-of-the-art research
ideas for action research projects
The strategies and activities in this book have all been classroom tested with diverse student populations.
