Literacy Instruction Today

Rating:
Summary: Every teacher should read this essential book.
Review: This book gives detailed instructions for not only teaching reading and writing effectively, but how to reach EVERY child. Kathryn Au has provided us all with a step-by-step method for creating a readers' and writers' workshop in every classroom. This method will work with all children including ESL and SPED. Literacy Instruction for Today is an essential book for every classroom, including inclusive classrooms. Your children will not want to stop writing. Teachers who have tried this method claim that they can't get their students to stop writing. Not only are there step-by-step instructions for teachers to go by, there are also samples of students' work and teacher logs. Summer is a great time to buy this book. Teachers will then have time to plan their own readers' and writers' workshops for their classrooms in the Fall. Good news:this method is applicable for grades K-12 and beyond.
