Eliminate the reading gap for marginalized children

Eliminating the reading achievement gap is essential for long-term school success. In Who Says I Can’t?, the authors explain how to close the third-grade reading gap for marginalized students. They supply educators with research, strategies, structure, and support necessary to revise current practices so that all children, regardless of ethnic, racial, or socioeconomic deterrents, will read for meaning before grade 4.

K–4 educators can use this book to:

  • Learn current research on the third-grade reading gap and why it matters
  • Understand the importance of teaching phonics and phonemics in the early grades
  • Explore how to expand vocabulary for students below target levels
  • Guide students on forming meaning in cognitive and metacognitive ways
  • Provide reading material with diverse characters to encourage investment and belonging
