Von der hinteren Coverseite

This text provides the tools and knowledge pre-service and experienced teachers need to teach reading and writing in a developmentally responsive and integrated way, while meeting the diverse needs of students in today's classrooms. Comprehensive yet accessible, this book uses a conversational tone to present a wealth of critical content that helps readers connect theory to practice through vignettes and sample lessons from real classrooms; authentic student work samples; ideas for using and integrating print-based and digital texts across the curriculum; and tools for organizing and managing a developmentally-responsive literacy program. Included are foundational chapters addressing the nature of development and the interaction of thought, language, and literacy; chapters addressing instruction for English Learners and for students who struggle: and chapters devoted to each stage of development: Emergent, Beginning, Transitional, Intermediate, and Skillful. Coverage includes:

• Foundational chapters introducing the developmental model and the current policy environment in which the Common Core State Standards, assessment, and RTI figure prominently.
• Developmental chapters covering each stage of literacy development–Emergent, Beginning, Transitional, Intermediate, and Skillful.
• Authentic classroom vignettes at the beginning of each chapter.
• Sample lessons aligned with the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts.
• Suggestions for accommodating the special needs of English Learners.
• Literature for children and young adults is integrated throughout the text. An illustrative companion text, Newbury Honor Award-winning Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko (2004), is available.
• A number of pedagogical features including a chapter summary that often includes a graphic organizer of the chapter’s big ideas, suggested extension activities, recommended professional resources, and on-line resources.
