Rock Your Literacy Block

As teachers learn about the science of reading, they're gaining knowledge about the "what," but not so much the "how." In other words, they don't have a clear picture of how to implement research-backed daily reading instruction... until now! Expert primary-level teacher, Lindsay Kemeny, guides readers through her literacy block, step-by-step – from morning arrival to whole-class and small-group instruction to literacy centers, writing time, and read-aloud. Loaded with teaching, planning, and management tips, sample schedules and routines, and connections to her bestselling 7 Mighty Moves, this book is a valuable resource for any K-3 teacher. The companion website includes download-ready sample schedules and planning tools, as well as classroom video clips that show how Kemeny runs her literacy block, from morning arrival on!
