As a literacy coach, I am often looking for materials or resources to guide my work. This book is one that I highly value. The role of the coach is clearly defined and Casey shares insights from both her years in education and as a coach. Her consise and clear approach makes this text easy to understand and unwraps some of the mystery surrounding the coaching process.

What is a Literacy Coach?

I needed to know what a literacy coach was when my principal asked me to consider applying for the job. This book was extrememly helpful in giving me the details in order for me to make my decision. I am now a literacy coach, and I plan to use this book regularly!

Literacy Coaching

I actually ordered this for my ELL Coach as it came highly recommended. My ELL Coach has read it and the feedback is, that it is very helpful and useful, particularly since this is her first time as an instructional coach.
