I love How to Meet Standards, Motivate Students, and STILL Enjoy Teaching! by Barbara Benson. It's not the bible it was for me a few years ago, but helped me structure my units and courses with PURPOSE.
I Read It, but I Don't Get It: Comprehension Strategies for Adolescent Readers by Cris Tovani is an excellent choice for facing reading challenges at all levels
Framework for Understanding Poverty by Ruby K. Payne gave me a sort of lens through which I could start to understand some of the things about my students that absolutely confused my "Boring, Middle Class White Person from the Midwest" self. I also like that Payne clarifies that this is not an exhaustive explanation without exception.
Holler If You Hear Me by Gregory Michie is not exactly about teaching techniques, but it honestly depicts life in the classroom. In that vein, I also liked Teacher Man by Frank McCourt.
Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria? by Beverly Daniel Tatum is very interesting for its perspective on diverse learners.

Absolutely read Reading with Meaning by Debbie Miller. (It's fantastic!)
I wish I had read it before I started this year. It is an awesome book for teaching comprehension.
Another really good book is The Skillful Teacher by Jon Saphier and Robert Gower.
Also, if you ever need reading materials go to the Florida Center for Reading Research. They have a ton of amazing reading activities you can download. I just discovered it this year, so I have to share it with everyone :)

Depending on the age and socioeconomics of your school, anything by Ruby Payne is good. I'm also reading several of Laura Robb's books on teaching reading at the middle school
level.

It's probable to pay lots of time and income searching for approaches to train your kids how to read and boost their examining skills. Is hard to instruct a small kid how to see, and also alluring them to read is a challenge in itself. However it doesn't have to be like that when you got the help of this program https://tr.im/5MqEe , Children Learning Reading program.
With Children Learning Reading you can show your youngster how to separate looks and break words in to phonemes, an essential thing whenever your kid is just learning to spell.
The reading process from Children Learning Reading program makes it easy for kids to learn rapidly and precisely, from simple phrases to sentences until they understand to read stories.
