BARGAIN TEXTBOOKS AND
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
What is a Bargain Book?
Bargain books are books that the publishers have decided to get rid of
at very low cost. Some are out-of-print. Some are just overstocked. Some hardcovers are
being published in paperback versions and are being cleared out. Some are slightly
damaged. Some are just being republished with a different cover and a higher price. Most
will have a remainder mark -- usually a black line on the top or bottom edge -- so that it
cannot be returned again to the publisher. Bargain books can be great buys for your own
use, and some are even good enough for gifts. We will tell you if the book has a remainder
mark or other flaw. Supplies of these books are always limited, so if they look good to
you, please don't wait until later to buy them.

 Fluency
Strategies for Struggling Readers: Classroom-Tested Oral Reading Strategies That
Help Build Comprehension by Marcia Delany. Scholastic, 2006.
Justin, a second grader who reads well below his grade level,
struggles to sound out phonetically regular words and sometimes gets stuck on
basic sight of words like there and why. Even when Justin reads simple,
predictable books, he stumbles over the words and delivers the passage in a
labored monotone. Although Angie has mastered many words on the first-grade
sight-word list, she rushes to get to the end of a page when she reads and pays
little attention to whether the words she calls out make sense in the context of
the story. Sammy is embarrassed when it's his turn to read aloud in class.
Unlike his fluent third-grade peers, he ignores punctuation and reads with
choppy phrasing and little expression.
Disfluent readers may exhibit different symptoms, but they all
are impacted in the same way - disfluency interferes with reading
comprehension. In Fluency Strategies for Struggling Readers, reading specialist
Marcia Delany clearly defines and helps you identify disfluency symptoms that
prevent your primary - grade readers from achieving in reading. Then she shares
20 easy-to-implement intervention strategies for either individuals or small
groups that address the disfluency problem. These strategies will show teachers
how to help children build letter-sound recognition; strengthen sight-word
fluency; decode multisyllabic words; increase accuracy and rate of reading;
improve phrasing so reading sounds like spoken language; use typographical cues
to interpret a written text; read with expression; and self-assess oral reading.
