About this title

Synopsis

Effective literacy instruction lies at the intersection of theory and practice. But how does one combine these principles to design and implement effective reading and writing lessons that are accessible, engaging, and practical?

Teaching Reading and Writing PreK-3 provides preservice teachers with a practical, research-based approach for understanding underpinnings of literacy learning and learning strategies to teach readers and writers to comprehend and compose text. Written directly to the reader in an approachable style, it aligns with the Science of Reading and Writing and incorporates recurring themes vital for the nurturing of literacy, such as connecting theory to clinical placements; teaching with inclusive excellence; differentiating instruction for various abilities; the instruction-assessment cycle, and more.

This user-friendly text empowers readers to implement strategies for literacy instruction, creating learner-ready teachers who can effectively teach from Day 1. Teaching Reading and Writing PreK-3 promotes the explicit teaching of reading and writing using evidence-based practices that can be applied in clinical placements and beyond. 

The text connects ideas to practical teaching through a variety of features:

• Real-Life Examples: vignettes introduce each chapter and are focused on teacher candidates working in classroom settings
• Connection to the Field: specific activities help readers immediately put concepts into practice in their clinical placements
• Engaging with Families: concrete ideas that involve student families (with consent of a mentor teacher)
• Lesson Planning: sample outlines demonstrate exactly how to plan effective reading lessons that meet standards and apply concepts from the book
• Companion Website: this publication includes access to a companion website that compiles the chapter resources, as well as templates, organizers, & record sheets in more than 90 pages
• And much more!
