Through life-changing stories, respected thinkers and authentic
presentations, Keynote promotes a deeper understanding of the world
and gives students the courage and means to express themselves in
English. Communication, collaboration and creative thinking drive
students towards real 21st century outcomes and encourage them to
respond to ideas and find their own voice. Both students and
teachers will emerge with new confidence, new ideas and a new
determination to communicate in this increasingly information-rich
world of Global English.
Every elementary teacher deals with students who struggle as
readers on a daily basis. Each struggling child is complex and each
has a unique history as a learner. In "One Child at a Time,"
experienced literacy specialist and consultant Pat Johnson provides
a framework she has used in numerous K-6 classrooms to help
teachers understand and assist individual children. The four-step
process outlined in the book enables teachers to focus carefully on
specific strategies and behaviors; analyze them with theoretical
and practical lenses; design targeted instruction in keeping with
current research on reading process; and then assess and refine the
teaching in conferences with the child. The framework is by no
means an easy answer to a difficult problem, but through its use
teachers learn how the reading process works for proficient readers
and how to support struggling readers as they construct their own
reading process.
The text is packed with examples of actual conferences with
students, detailing how and when Pat and her colleagues intervene
to instruct and assess. The examples of follow-up assessment and
analysis of struggling readers over days and weeks provide an
indispensable model for teachers.
Pat shows how to use this framework successfully with a range of
learners, including young children, English language learners, and
students in the upper elementary grades who are stalled in their
literacy progress. She builds upon her decades of work as a
classroom teacher, literacy specialist, and consultant in schools
with high poverty and diversity, to demonstrate how this framework
can be useful in any setting.
