About
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
