The Complete 4 for Literacy
With a deep respect for teachers, Pam Allyn shares the big ideas and specific tools for building a yearlong unified reading and writing curriculum. She focuses on four key components: the development of good reading and writing habits, a knowledge of genre, an awareness of and application of strategies, and a growing understanding of how to use conventions effectively.Examples, practical support, and planning templates help you frame grade-specific daily lessons, monthly units, and yearlong study. A 32-page full-color insert demonstrates the continuum of learning in reading and writing with a year's calendar of month-by-month topics at each grade level K through 5.Allyn's focused yet flexible approach allows educators to teach with individual style and passion while at the same time taking basals into account and addressing the multiple demands of curriculum, standards, assessments, student needs (including English language learners), and more.
