The Integrated Curriculum

Working with reluctant readers in grades 2-5 is especially important because it is in these early years that an appreciation of books and reading can be cultivated and nurtured. Fredericks presents guidelines for motivating and encouraging responsibility and comprehension in these children. The book contains more than 40 book units on titles selected to motivate the most reluctant reader, such as The Beast in Miss Rooney's Room, The Bathwater Gang, Much Ado about Aldo and Eating Ice Cream with a Werewolf.
