Description:  
Gay Su Pinnell and Irene Fountas understand that a high-quality curriculum is the important first step toward good teaching and successful learning. Good curriculum comes from knowing what students can do, can almost do, and need to learn how to do as readers, writers, and language users. In The Continuum of Literacy Learning, Grades K - 8 they combine everything they have learned about literacy development to create a powerful tool that enables curriculum coordinators and literacy specialists to observe teaching and learning, to plan responsive instruction, and to ensure consistency across buildings, grades, or classrooms.
 
Across the Grades
The Continuum of Literacy Learning, Grades K - 8 places the behaviors and understandings children can be expected to demonstrate on continua that reflect seven critical instructional contexts: 
  • interactive read-aloud and literature discussion
  • shared and performance reading
  • writing about reading
  • writing
  • oral, visual, and technological communication
  • phonics, spelling, and word study
  • guided reading.
 
Level by Level
The first six continua are organized by grade, while the guided reading milestones are laid out level-by-level along Pinnell and Fountas' A - Z gradient to facilitate reading instruction at the precise level at which it is most appropriate to support new learning.
 
This helpful representation of goals for literacy growth make it easy to analyze whether curriculum goals are aligned among grades, buildings, or districts. They can serve as a foundation for the creation of responsive, flexible curriculum documents. And, they present the information in Pinnell and Fountas' Continua for grades K - 2 and 3 - 8 in a different organization that enables literacy specialists and coaches to effectively communicate commonly shared expectations that are grounded in research and expressed as teaching practices. In fact, they provide numerous opportunities for conversations with teachers about:
  • planning instruction for individuals, small groups, or a whole class
  • assessing children's literacy development
  • evaluating student progress and reporting grades
  • discussing expectations with parents
  • identifying specific needs for targeted intervention.
 
Discover the convenient, easy-to-read resource that supports every aspect of your curriculum by presenting a unified vision of language and literacy development. Read The Continuum of Literacy Learning, Grades K - 8 and discover the key to a new standard for excellence in literacy education.

Reading Level: 219
 
Description: In Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement, Robert J. Marzano shows how a carefully structured combination of two approaches--sustained silent reading and instruction in subject-specific vocabulary terms--can help overcome the deficiencies in background knowledge that hamper the achievement of many children.

Readers will learn
* The principles that underlie an effective sustained silent reading program
* A five-step process for using sustained silent reading to enhance background knowledge
* The defining characteristics of effective vocabulary instruction
* A six-step process for direct instruction in vocabulary in each discipline
* The vocabulary terms critical to students’ success in every academic subject

Vignettes suggest how the recommended reading and vocabulary instruction programs might be implemented in elementary schools, middle and junior high schools, and high schools. The book also includes a list of 7,923 vocabulary terms culled from the national standards documents and other publications, organized into 11 subject areas and 4 grade-level categories.

With its research-based recommendations and step-by-step approach, Building Background Knowledge equips educators with the tools they need to help close the achievement gap and enable all students to succeed.
