Reseña del editor

Here is a comprehensive view of all of the elements that are essential to developing effective literacy and providing the necessary gradual release of responsibility for reading and writing from teachers to students. Developing Literacy by Morrison and Wilcox gives teachers the "big picture" and helps them consistently implement what they know about reading and writing. It shows the connections with the Common Core State Standards and the IRA Standards, includes unique "Try This for Teaching" and "Try This for Professional Development" boxes to help apply the concepts, and features samples of teacher and student work to further illuminate the concepts.

Contraportada

In this comprehensive view of all of the elements essential to developing effective literacy, teachers see how to gradually release responsibility for reading and writing from themselves to their students. The book shows the “big picture” and helps readers gain a firm understanding of why they are teaching, who they are teaching, and what they are teaching, including essential elements of reading and traits of writing. Readers also learn how to teach literacy.

 

The book is packed with invaluable information for:

 

• Focusing on children’s literacy development and how it can be fostered along with teachers’ professional development.

• Gradually releasing responsibility for reading and writing from teachers to their students.

• Understanding all major aspects of reading and writing instruction through comprehensive coverage of speaking and listening, language conventions, English language learners, struggling students, and new literacies integrated throughout the book, rather than isolated in separate chapters. Icons in the margins help readers recognize where these connections are made.

• Locating and applying Common Core Standards and IRA standards. Icons in the margins direct readers to specific connections throughout the book and the inside covers list the Standards with references to specific chapters in the book.

• Reinforcing comprehension through easy-to-follow steps for immediate practice and practical application of the concepts in the text’s unique “Try This for Teaching” and “Try This for Professional Development” boxes which include teaching activities and ideas located in each chapter.
