Review

"For months, I have worried about how teachers were going to incorporate the Common Core State Standards into their daily literacy instruction. There are so many standards, and all require students to engage in high levels of inferential, critical-thinking, and reasoning skills. Fisher and Frey have made the implementation of this goal not easy but definitely attainable. Chapters on each strand begin with an example of teachers working together in a PLC to plan lessons to help students meet the standards. After teaching the lessons, teachers reconvene and share the results of their formative assessments to decide who learned what and plan their next lessons so that all students meet the standard. Using this practical, down-to-earth book as a guide, teachers can navigate the complex world of the CCSS and provide instruction that will work and have one less thing to worry about!" -- Pat Cunningham "Professor of Education, Wake Forest University, Winston Salem, North Carolina"
