This website is provided so that you will have easy access to all the materials that support my book, Climbing the Literacy Ladder: Small-Group Instruction to Support All Readers and Writers, PreK-5. This book is published by ASCD.
This is my sixth published book, and I am excited to share this with you. Not only does the book includes grades preK-5, but also discusses writing as it relates to a child’s reading level.
It is my hope that this book and the materials provided on this website will help you grow as a teacher of literacy, more confident than ever to face the ever-increasing diversity you face in the classroom. My writing style is simple and straight- forward and provides easy access for busy teachers. Perhaps more importantly, the materials that support the book are ready for your use.
Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will do my best to respond.
My Very Best,
Beverly
