She has written both from the heart and from a critical, open mind, of her painful but illuminating discoveries about the reading process and how best to support children on their reading journeys.

"Anna Geiger has managed, with this book, to fill a special gap in the reading instruction library. She has written both from the heart and from a critical, open mind, of her painful but illuminating discoveries about the reading process and how best to support children on their reading journeys. Educators will feel safe, challenged, and informed in equal measure." —Pamela Snow, PhD, MAPS Professor of Cognitive Psychology and Co-Director, Science of Language and Reading (SOLAR) Lab, La Trobe University, Australia “Reach All Readers is a gift for elementary teachers—and their students! Anna Geiger deftly packs the what, why, and how of the science of reading into one user-friendly, empowering book that you'll keep coming back to again and again." —Kate Winn, Teacher & Host of IDA Ontario's Reading Road Trip Podcast “We’ve long needed Reach All Readers, a book on effective reading instruction written for teachers, by a teacher. Anna presents what she’s learned about the science of reading and instruction in an accessible and useful text. You’ll want to read it cover-to-cover, discuss chapters with colleagues, and hang on to it as a reference book.” —Margaret Goldberg, Co-founder of The Right to Read Project “Anna Geiger doesn't just present the science; she equips educators with practical strategies and resources, translating them into actionable knowledge that can be readily applied in the classroom. Whether you're a seasoned teacher or just starting out, this book empowers you to become a more informed and effective practitioner. Aptly named, Reach All Readers illustrates Geiger’s knack for making the science of reading less “science-y.” —Faith Borkowsky, Founder of High Five Literacy, LLC, Author, and Co-host of The Literacy View Podcast "Anna has been able to capture the complexities of implementing the science of reading and make it seem simple and tangible to any educator who wants to make a difference in the lives of their students. This will make a perfect book study text for schools and teachers across the country." —Brent Conway, Assistant Superintendent, Pentucket Regional School District “My own science of reading journey is a lot like Anna's; I put a lot of hours into self-education. I wish this book was available when I started! It's established that students learn to read best when their teachers follow a strong scope and sequence and provide direct, systematic instruction. Teachers learning about the science of reading need the same. Every page and chapter of Reach All Readers equips teachers to best serve all students. As an SOR geek I couldn’t put it down. As a dedicated practitioner, I will return to it often.” —Virginia Quinn-Mooney, Host of Science of Reading Happy Hour, Moderator and Group Expert for “What I Should Have Learned in College” “Anna’s clear and concise writing makes complex topics easy to understand. Packed with valuable info, her book is a go-to resource for elementary teachers and deserves a spot on your bookshelf.” —Lindsay Kemeny, author of 7 Mighty Moves: Research-Backed, Classroom-Tested Strategies to Ensure K-to-3 Reading Success
