management tips, questions for discussion and reflection, and 15
reproducible forms, checklists, and lesson templates. Purchasers
get access to a Web page where they can download and print the
reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. Note:

comprehension skills, within a literacy-rich classroom environment.
Each chapter features helpful classroom vignettes; a section called
Preschool in Practice, with step-by-step lesson ideas; and Ideas
for Discussion, Reflection, and Action. The book addresses the
needs of English language learners and describes ways to support
students' literacy development at home. The final chapter pulls it
all together through a portrait of an exemplary day of preschool
teaching and learning. Reproducible forms and checklists can be
downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.

Nearly every state has independently adopted the Common Core State
Standards (CCSS), making this practical guide an indispensable
resource for PreK-2 teachers and teachers-in-training. Leading
authorities explain each of the English language arts (ELA)
standards and vividly show how to implement them. The book is
filled with grade-specific classroom vignettes, instructional
strategies and activities, sample lesson plans, and discussion
questions. Chapters cover the major ELA strands: reading
(literature, informational texts, and foundational skills);
writing; speaking and listening; and language. Issues of assessment
and technology integration are also explored. An appendix includes
thematic units for each grade level demonstrating ways to embed
CCSS/ELA standards into content-area instruction. See also Teaching
with the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts, Grades
3-5.
Preschoolers are passionate about learning, and a high-quality
preschool program offers rich learning experiences in the areas of
language and literacy. This engaging book gives teachers and other
professionals fresh ideas, inspiration, and practical tools for
integrating age-appropriate literacy instruction into the preschool
curriculum. Including helpful vignettes, sample lesson plans, and
reproducibles, the book shows how to create a motivating classroom
environment, balance child-initiated exploration with structured
activities, and support students' developing skills in reading,
writing, speaking, and comprehension. Essential topics include
preschool assessment and working with English language learners.
Timely and authoritative, this is the first research handbook to
address all dimensions of diversity that have an impact on literacy
achievement. Leading experts examine how teaching and learning
intersect with cultural and language differences and socioeconomic
disparities in today's increasingly diverse schools and
communities. The volume weaves state-of-the-art research findings
together with theory, policy considerations, and discussions of
exemplary instructional practices. It offers fresh perspectives on
such topics as family literacy, multiliteracies, drawing on
cultural resources in the classroom, factors that promote success
in high-poverty schools, equity issues, and ways to teach specific
literacy skills. The concluding section provides crucial
recommendations for teacher preparation and professional
development.
