Educator Gerard Dawson has released “Hacking Literacy” in partnership with Times 10 Publications. It offers practical, actionable advice on how you can more effectively build a culture of reading in the classroom.
Literacy is, perhaps, the most foundational and necessary skill that teachers can impart upon their students. It is necessary not just in the language arts discipline, but in all other areas of life as well, from the sciences to economics and beyond. However, in today's jittery, fast-paced world, getting kids to read has never been more difficult.
While traditional teaching models have something to say about this, the general guidance they provide tends to be outdated. It is time for the teaching community to adopt a more modern approach to literacy.
Gerard Dawson's book, "Hacking Literacy", lays out exactly how this can be done, with actionable steps and day-by-day advice that you can use to more effectively build a culture of reading in your classroom.

This book has been released to contend with some of the common myths surrounding literacy in the classroom, and to help override some outdated or stale pedagogical practices. The ultimate goal of this text is to help you incentivize reading in the classroom through a variety of means, turning reluctant or unenthusiastic students into curious, exploratory book lovers.
This title is geared toward educators teaching high school children, but may be helpful even in a middle school setting for children who are unwilling to engage with literature. The tips it provides encourage engagement with the student regardless of age or experience level, making the advice nearly universal.
One reader had the following to say about the text: “I found this book to be not only inspiring but practical as well. I love that it gives suggestions that I can implement immediately as well as ones that require more planning. As a first year teacher, I am thankful to have this tool in my teacher toolbox.”

Dawson’s advice centers mainly on the idea that reading cannot be imposed upon the student body from above, but rather must be cultivated over time through careful observation of a student’s individual learning style. In the text, he explains ways in which educators like you can build upon a student’s pre-existing interests to instill in them an organic love of reading.
“Hacking Literacy” joins a variety of other texts in the “Hack Learning” series, which cover a wide range of pedagogical topics and points of contention or debate in the teaching community. Throughout the series, you will be exposed to different perspectives and schools of thought to ensure that you are able to find something that works for your unique style.
When teaching foundational skills like literacy, the pressure could not be higher to get it right. In this case, it is only natural to ask for some help, and you will find no better help than the advice presented in "Hacking Literacy".
Gerard Dawson assembled the advice in this book over the course of a long career as a New Jersey high school teacher. His observations and first-hand experience in that position led him to become a prominent voice in many teaching communities as he continues to share resources and knowledge with the world at large.
