Literacy: Helping Students Construct Meaning

by J. David Cooper, Michael D. Robinson, Jill Ann Slansky

A leading resource for K-8 literacy programs, this extremely popular reading methods text has a simple goal: to provide aspiring teachers (including you) with the tools to help every student learn to read and write. LITERACY: HELPING STUDENTS CONSTRUCT MEANING, 10th Edition has been completely reorganized to better meet the needs of its readers; for instance, with early coverage of assessment in recognition of its foundational nature. Distinguished in the field by its use of practical literacy lessons and authentic examples that clearly demonstrate how to teach reading and writing, the text continues to provide pre-service and in-service teachers with the information, strategies, and techniques they need to assist their students in becoming literate. The Common Core State Standards are fully integrated throughout the text, and full-color children's stories (in excerpts or in their entirety) model extended literacy lessons.

I adored the CourseMate program online that the book offers. The book and CourseMate supply real scenarios on how other teachers implement the text's strategies with thought provoking points to dwell on. The book is also easy and fun to read. It is well organized with recent research. The text can also be read to you from CourseMate.
