Description
Teaching IS rocket science--and you are the pilot!
The authors reinforce what teachers already know--test preparation worksheets and drill-and-kill activities do not make children into lifelong readers. This book's conscientious approach to reading instruction combines an insider perspective on the development of high-stakes tests with classroom experience in achieving successful reading outcomes at the elementary and secondary levels. Their research-based methodology is based on five key components:
- Aligning instruction to the state or national core standards
- Using formative assessment
- Connecting units to real-world contexts
- Motivating students effectively
- Holding on to best practice in literacy instruction
