Review
Raelene Maxworthy- Leader of Teaching and Learning Mc Carthy Catholic College –
Helping children become better readers is another gem, another ‘must-have’, by Pat Hipwell. When it comes to developing reading skills in children, few can demystify the theory and process as expertly as Pat. Deep understanding arises from quality explanations, specific details, explicit examples and truly grasping the what, why and how. Offered in this book is an approach to reading as a problem-solving activity. It includes specific troubleshooting strategies that are accessible for all people tasked with supporting reading in young children. You will not be left guessing if you are ‘doing it right’. As Pat says, to become better at something, you need to do more of it. Pat knows precisely what young readers and their parents, carers, teachers and aides need when it comes to the teaching and learning of reading.

Being a teacher for almost 14 years now…I’ve seen my fair share of educational books! Usually books like this that I see are long, boring and have a bunch of words in it that no one really understands…and pictures to match! But just to be super, super clear – this is Not one of those!
This book is simple and very clear in how to offer support to children who might be struggling with reading. It’s stepped out, numbered with clear headings and easy to follow. Basically it says, if your child is doing this…try this….with a few examples and options. So awesome!
What a great text! It’s useful, clear and simple! Highly recommend this!

I found the book to be full of useful hints and suggestions. As a teacher, I found that the responding to behaviours section particularly helpful as I could apply them to the students in my class whenever we were reading text. This helped me with strategies to assist my students with their reading and comprehension of text. The suggestions for use of body language and movement tied in nicely with the advice from the school based speech pathologist. Additionally the work ties in with the Robust Vocabulary instruction and can be used to augment the explicit teaching of key vocabulary.

‘A Must Have’ for every parent and educator of literacy
Patricia Hipwell’s latest gift to literacy is dynamite…filled to the brim with practical strategies, it is so easy to digest. Additionally, the chapers are broken up based on a persons reading behaviour making it a very simple, user-friendly resource that allows you to identify the area or need and what to do about it. Loved it!
