Developing Reading Comprehension: Effective Instruction for All Students in PreK-2 (The Essential Library of PreK-2 Literacy)

Early literacy instruction typically emphasizes foundational skills--often at the expense of engaging young children in reading and supporting their comprehension of different types of texts. This book explains the essential elements of comprehension and shares a wealth of classroom-tested instructional practices. It presents developmentally informed strategies for scaffolding comprehension skills, using content to promote engagement, and implementing high-level discussions and writing tasks. Ways to teach and assess English learners and other diverse students are highlighted throughout. The book features explicit links to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as well as helpful reproducible forms. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.

Accelerating the Literacy Performance of Bilingual Students: Evidence-Based Instruction in Grades K-6

This research-based, highly practical volume presents ways teachers and schools can accelerate literacy achievement with bilingual K-6 students in both English and their home languages. Georgia Earnest García shares innovative instructional strategies for students with different language backgrounds in multiple settings--bilingual/ESL classrooms, dual-language classrooms, or all-English classrooms. She explains key concepts, such as sheltered instruction and translanguaging, and discusses how the science of reading should be adapted for bilingual students. The book offers concrete ideas for conducting unbiased assessments and building core domains of L1 and L2 literacy, including oral language, reading, writing, and academic language and vocabulary. Utility is enhanced by guiding questions, helpful vignettes, and reproducible and downloadable forms.
