Review

"Whose responsibility is it to provide consistent, explicit instruction in literacy? Recent research could not be clearer: every teacher must do so, no matter what subject or grade level. The writers of the Common Core State Standards agree. Allyson Burnett and Elaine McEwan-Adkins have compiled an essential literacy toolbox for today's conscientious educator. Each strategy is clear, simple, easy to follow, and rooted in current literacy research. Each strategy is applicable across multiple texts in multiple subject areas. What is most impressive is that each strategy balances the unique demands of reading comprehension, writing clarity, and metacognition. This toolbox has been invaluable in my own planning, and I cannot recommend it highly enough." -- Christopher Schmidt "Secondary English Teacher, Dallas, TX"
