For Literacy in the Elementary School and Elementary Reading Methods and Strategies courses.
Based on the same principles and guidelines of Tompkins' best-selling literacy text, this new volume addresses specific strategies for teaching reading and writing to children from Preschool to Grade 4. The author provides a solid foundation in the content of literacy instruction―phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension―liberally spiced with her trademark “minilessons” and replete with children's writing samples and authentic classroom vignettes. Included are a wealth of age-appropriate assessment tools, authentic classroom activities, and illustrative examples of how effective teachers engage children in preschool through primary grades in the captivating act of reading and writing.
