How to Reach and Teach All Children Through Balanced
Literacy offers you a handbook for teaching literacy to diverse
students in grades 3-8. The balanced literacy method combines the
best practices of phonics and other skill-based language
instruction with the holistic, literature-based approach in order
to help you teach reading, writing, and speaking in a clear and
approachable format.
This dynamic resource offers an easily accessible research-based approach to balanced literacy that is grounded in the innovative ideas developed by authors Sandra F. Rief and Julie A. Heimburge. The book includes detailed descriptions of what a balanced literacy classroom looks like and shows how to create a program from the ground up or give your existing program a boost. The book can be used across content areas and is filled with reproducible worksheets, activities, and other handy classroom tools. Some topics covered include:
- Shared book experiences
