THE COMMON CORE READING BOOK, 6–8

By Gretchen Owocki. Sensible, step-by-step teaching strategies are matched to the ten reading anchor standards, giving teachers choices for responding to students’ needs, reaching goals for their development as readers, and identifying key texts for content areas. New and experienced teachers, literacy and subject-area teachers will all welcome this powerful resource with its focus on bringing instruction that is meaningful to both traditional reading-instruction topics and to contemporary issues such as Common Core and RTI. Included are precise descriptions of what each standard asks from students, instructional decision trees that simplify lesson planning, and clearly presented instructional strategies. A "Students Who…" section includes suggestions for tailoring support to individual student needs.Grades 6–8. Spiralbound. 8½" x 11". Heinemann. 232 pages. ©2014.commoncore
