For years, reading instruction has focused on teaching students how to decode words. This approach, known as phonics, has been shown to be ineffective for many students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds.

[Author's Name] argues that the focus on phonics is misguided. The real problem, she says, is that students are not being taught how to read for meaning. They are not being taught how to make connections between the words they are reading and their own experiences.

In her book, [Author's Name] offers a new approach to reading instruction that focuses on teaching students how to read for meaning. She calls this approach "dialogic reading."

Dialogic reading is a collaborative process in which the teacher and the student read a text together. The teacher models good reading strategies and encourages the student to ask questions and make predictions.

Dialogic reading has been shown to be effective in improving reading comprehension for students of all ages. In one study, students who participated in a dialogic reading program showed significant gains in reading comprehension compared to students who participated in a traditional phonics program.

[Author's Name]'s book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in improving reading instruction. It offers a new, more effective way to teach students how to read that is based on the latest research on how people learn.
