Jennifer Serravallo’s professional texts on literacy instruction provide educators with a framework and specific strategies to support students’ reading development. These resources typically offer a tiered system, allowing teachers to differentiate instruction based on individual student needs and observed reading behaviors. Example strategies might include visualizing, making inferences, or determining importance. These practices are often presented with concrete examples, anchor charts, and assessment tools for classroom implementation.
Effective reading instruction is crucial for student success across academic disciplines. Providing teachers with practical, research-based methods for developing reading comprehension empowers them to create engaging and productive learning environments. Serravallo’s work fills this need by offering a readily accessible and organized system, supporting teachers in fostering independent readers. Her contributions build upon decades of research in literacy education and respond to the evolving needs of today’s classrooms.
