How to Teach Balanced Reading and Writing (The Mindful School)
"The idea of balance in literacy is critical. This book models the fact that good teachers need to draw from a variety of approaches to achieve balance. Its major strengths include straightforward writing, clear discussion of topics, excellent graphic samples, strong attention to a balanced perspective and practical ideas."(Jennifer Trujillo, Assistant Professor, Teacher Education 2005-12-01)"One of the strongest aspects of this book is that any teacher can use it regardless of the reading program a district may be using. It brings the various practices of reading and writing and pulls them together in a practical and useful way that any teacher can incorporate into a reading/writing program."(Betty Ann Collinge, Kindergarten and First Grade Teacher 2005-12-01)"The book is easy to follow, very accessible - not too esoteric or philosophical, but includes important theory and knowledge about learning - and the messages are right on. As a discerning language arts specialist, I can honestly say that the positions and suggestions are excellent, relevant, and inclusive."(Karen Heath, Literacy Coordinator 2005-12-01)"This volume offers practical examples and will be especially appreciated by novice teachers."(Curriculum Connections, Spring 2007 2007-07-02)--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
