Summary of When Kids Can't Read: What Teachers Can Do: A Guide for Teachers 6-12

For Kylene Beers, the question of what to do when kids can't read surfaced abruptly in 1979 when she began teaching. That year, she discovered that some of the students in her seventh-grade language arts classes could pronounce all the words, but couldn't make any sense of the text.
