Giving teachers the confidence they need to teach reading in today's classrooms, Diane Nettles takes students on a journey of understanding reading as a social endeavor (the whole), of learning to teach the skills children need to be successful readers, and finally, of motivating children to read a lot--the "heart" of learning to read. In this no-nonsense textbook, preservice teachers are reflective as they learn scientifically-based strategies for teaching the "whole," the "parts," and the "heart" of literacy. The interactive approach of Literacy Instruction in Today's Classrooms: The Whole, the Parts, and the Heart uses interesting and engaging in-class examples and vignettes to motivate teachers to learn reading theory and its application in the classroom. Readers come away with a thorough understanding of comprehensive literacy instruction that is the most current in the field and of the reality of learning to read.

Teaching English language arts at grades K-5 is both a science and an art. Educators must teach literacy skills and content with best practices, while also keeping focus on each student's individual needs. They are challenged to monitor students working independently while also conducting small group instruction. And they must focus on providing differentiated support with a rather complicated text. With increased attention to rigor, requirements, and personalized instruction, it can be a challenge to make sure all students are receiving instruction that is just right. Comprehensive Literacy Basics: An Anthology by Capstone Professional contains useful tips to support educators. Chapters focus on each part of the literacy and language arts block, including whole group, small group, writing, and differentiation. A collection of expert authors specializing in literacy and language arts instruction contributed chapters to the book. The quick tips and suggestions within will reinforce current practices while providing an invaluable go-to reference. FAMIS #902792539
