A revolutionary breakthrough in reading instruction that benefits ALL students!

When teachers give students an equal opportunity to learn, children flourish. Unison Reading is a novel approach to literacy instruction that creates a more equitable learning experience and advances students′ reading abilities. Unison Reading engages students as they read content of their choice aloud in small, diverse groups. Tested and proven effective in a PreK–8 Title I school, Unison Reading:

  • Builds on the premise that reading is fundamentally a social activity, and texts are expressions of social purposes
  • Organizes learning around children′s self-chosen interests
  • Fosters confidence, relationships, and collaboration between students
  • Maximizes children′s opportunities to communicate with and learn from others
  • Redistributes responsibility for learning from the teacher to the students

This innovative guidebook includes principles for practice, teacher testimonials, and an appendix with ready-to-use forms. Cynthia McCallister′s groundbreaking work addresses frequently asked questions from educators and clearly demonstrates how Unison Reading benefits all students.
