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.

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
