Abstract
This book is about educating teachers to use a “village” concept to help struggling readers. The idea that “It takes a village” has been used by Hillary Clinton in her book, It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us, which was published in 1996. In that book, Clinton discussed her views of the impact persons outside the immediate family can have on children’s well-being, and promotes the notion that the American society can, indeed, work to meet the needs of all its children.
