'Reading and Writing Grade by Grade' is an indispensable tool for analyzing literacy skills and setting specific targets for learning for your kindergartners through third graders. Here you'll discover what abilities and understandings children at each grade level K-3 can be expected to have about the print-sound code, comprehension, reading and writing habits, written genres, and language use and conventions.
 Along with thoughtful commentary and suggestions for instruction, the book and companion DVD include dozens of examples of children's writing, samples of oral reading, and videos of children discussing books and following written directions. Drawn from real classrooms, these work samples show just what makes for competent performance in kindergarten through third grade.
