  • Phonological Awareness Second Edition

    Guilford Publications Phonological Awareness Second Edition

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisTranslating cutting-edge research into practical recommendations for assessment and instruction, this book has helped thousands of readers understand the key role of phonological awareness in the development of reading, writing, and spelling. It clearly shows how children's knowledge about the sound structure of spoken language contributes to literacy acquisition. Evidence-based strategies are described for enhancing all learners' phonological awareness and effectively supporting those who are struggling (ages 3â17). The book discusses ways to tailor instruction and intervention for a broad range of students, including English language learners (ELLs) and those with reading or language disorders. New to This Edition: *Incorporates over a decade of important advances in research, assessment, and instruction. *Chapter on ELLs, plus additional insights on ELLs woven throughout the book, including new case studies. *Chapter on spelling development. *SignificantlyTrade Review"Dr. Gillon’s contributions are amazing! If only all reading/literacy instructors, university professors of education, school administrators, and speech–language pathologists were to read, digest, and apply the insights in this book, I am certain that 'at-risk' children would become significantly better readers, and that the literacy skills of all children would be enhanced as well. This volume is loaded with evidence-based information, but it also is extremely readable."--Barbara Williams Hodson, PhD, Professor Emerita of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Wichita State University "Gillon addresses theoretical and practical aspects of the important role of phonological awareness in becoming literate, the basic right of every individual. The second edition presents up-to-date research on the development of phonological awareness as well as the practicalities of helping children learn to read and spell. This excellent volume fills a need for literacy researchers and practitioners and will be an exceptional resource for literacy courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I will definitely use it in my classes."--R. Malatesha Joshi, PhD, Department of Teaching, Learning, and Culture, Texas A&M University; Fellow, American Educational Research Association ?"What makes this book stand out is its attention to the importance of phonological awareness and other linguistic awareness skills to both reading and spelling. Strong content on assessment and intervention makes this a valuable resource for educators and specialists, such as speech–language pathologists, alike. It will be a welcome addition to courses on language development and/or disorders."--Kenn Apel, PhD, CCC-SLP, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of South Carolina "This excellent second edition provides clear and comprehensive answers to essential questions: How does phonological awareness develop and transfer across languages? Why is it so crucial in learning to read and spell? How can it be assessed in children of differing ages and cognitive and linguistic abilities? The volume reviews evidence-based instructional strategies and programs for supporting the development of phonological awareness in children with a wide range of literacy learning needs. It offers highly useful information for classroom teachers, intervention specialists, speech–language pathologists, educational psychologists, teacher educators, and educational policymakers."--William E.

Classroom-tested strategies are presented for planning and implementing each component of the exemplary literacy day--vocabulary and word study sessions, literacy work stations, differentiated guided reading groups, reading and writing workshops, and interdisciplinary projects.Trade Review"How does a teacher fit it all in while creating a student-centered classroom? This is the guide we all need now. As an instructional coach, I want all teachers to read it, talk about it, try the exemplary literacy day in their classrooms, and watch children thrive and learn. The authors acknowledge the variety of curricular expectations across districts, making the book helpful for teachers in all situations."--Kathy Harris, instructional coach, Piner–Olivet Union School District, Santa Rosa, California "All elementary language arts teachers, both novice and experienced, should read this book and reflect on how to improve the management and organization of their own classrooms. The book is anchored in the importance of classroom culture and prioritizes a learner-centered mindset. Expanding the focus from the 'language arts block' to the broader context, the authors quickly pull the reader in. Research and practical suggestions are folded in with spot-on vignettes, management tips, straightforward recommendations for a comprehensive curriculum, and resources for additional learning. Once you start reading, the book is hard to put down--you will want to replicate these authors' visionary language arts classroom for the children you teach."--Allison Swan Dagen, PhD, College of Education and Human Services, West Virginia University "Morrow has been at the forefront of literacy education for decades. Her work has guided thousands of young teachers and career professionals through all the research, trends, controversies, reforms, and re-reforms roiling American education. This timely book pulls together information we can trust, helping K-6 teachers give their students the optimal balance of instruction, support, and exploration. Some of the ideas presented are reliable and familiar; others, like the vocabulary meetings, rework established practice into fresh and even more powerful patterns. On their way through this volume, teachers will dwell on the details, savor the practical strategies, and benefit from the wisdom from cover to cover."--Harvey “Smokey” Daniels, PhD, author and literacy consultant, Santa Fe, New Mexico "Showing that teacher expertise is the heart of good instruction, this book proposes a classroom in which students are engaged and motivated learners as they are immersed in literacy all day long. Step-by-step explanations of how to implement an exemplary literacy program include sample lesson plans, lesson templates, management tips, instructional resources, Web links, and more.

  • Teaching on Solid Ground

    Guilford Publications Teaching on Solid Ground

    Book SynopsisTo be successful, teachers of English in grades 6â12 need more than basic content knowledge and classroom management skills. They need a deep understanding of the goals and principles of teaching literature, writing, oral discourse, and language in order to make sound instructional decisions. This engaging book explores the pedagogical foundations of the discipline and gives novice and future teachers specific guidance for creating effective, interesting learning experiences. The authors consider such questions as what makes a literary text worth studying, what students gain from literary analysis, how to make writing meaningful, and how to weave listening and speaking into every class meeting. Professional learning and course use are facilitated by end-of-chapter reflection questions, text boxes, and appendices showcasing exemplary learning activities.Trade Review"What do secondary school English teachers need to know in order to teach effectively? With so much contradictory information and advice available, a beginning (or veteran) teacher can be pulled in many directions simultaneously. This volume provides a coherent knowledge base for the teaching of English, one grounded in assumptions of constructivist learning, inductive in conception, based in activity, collaborative in design, and driven by student inquiry. This book should have tremendous value for any English teacher looking for both a theoretical framework to motivate instruction and practical ideas through which to realize it with kids."--Peter Smagorinsky, PhD, Department of Language and Literacy Education, University of Georgia "Pedagogical content knowledge, or knowing how to teach students to read, compose, problem-solve, and learn like experts, is unquestionably the centerpiece of expert teaching. McCann and Knapp have achieved something monumental and unprecedented by describing what this kind of knowledge might look like in each of the language arts. This book will surely be a touchstone of conversation and an informing guide for teachers, staff developers, and teacher educators for years to come."--Jeffrey D. Wilhelm, PhD, Distinguished Professor of English Education, Boise State University "Teaching on Solid Ground provides great swaths of history, perspective, and good ideas for high school and middle school English teachers, from two veterans with many decades of experience between them. The book focuses on what teachers should know about literature, writing, oral discourse, and language. It identifies key goals and offers lesson-planning suggestions and fascinating case studies that are attuned to the contemporary English classroom."--Ken Lindblom, PhD, Department of English, Stony Brook University "An audacious project. McCann and Knapp take on the huge question of what teachers of English language arts need to know in order to be effective practitioners. I don’t agree with everything the authors have written, but that’s not the point--indeed, they don't always agree with each other! The book made me think hard about what knowledge matters most. It is sure to provoke important professional conversations among both inservice and preservice teachers about what stands at the heart of their important work."--Michael W. Smith, PhD, Associate Dean for Graduate Programs and Faculty Affairs, College of Education, Temple University -Teaching on Solid Ground: Knowledge Foundations for the Teacher of English…is a call to English teachers and teacher educators to deeply consider what English teachers should know and be able to do….This book is based on McCann and Knapp's extensive experience as U.S.-based classroom teachers, researchers, and teacher educators who have witnessed many teacher candidates in action. Therefore, a real strength of the book is how McCann and Knapp, over seven chapters, uncover the complexity of an English teacher's job: the significant responsibility for knowledge and expertise across the territory of literature, writing, oral discourse, and language demands.--Journal of Language and Literacy Education, 10/17/2019Table of ContentsForeword, Carol D.

    Book SynopsisThis widely used teacher resource and course text--now significantly revised with 75% new content--provides a flexible approach to fostering high-level understanding of a wide variety of informational sources in grades 3â8. Through the lens of a new three-phase lesson plan, the author explains how to teach students to think critically about sources, monitor for meaning, identify main ideas, explain key details, and make sense of unfamiliar vocabulary. Now in a convenient large-size format, the second edition is packed with practical features, including a detailed study guide and links to recommended online videos.

Prior edition title: Close Reading of Informational Texts. New to This Edition *Substantially revised and updated to reflect the ongoing development of the author's approach;Trade Review"What an awesome book for teachers and reading specialists! Teachers often struggle with how to teach students to actively read, interact with, and synthesize multiple informational sources. I love the three-phase plan for learning in the second edition, as well as the suggestions for follow-up instruction. Teachers can use the Stages of Development rubric to determine where their students are on the continuum and how to move students further along. This is an essential tool for my teaching--it is filled with great resources, anchor charts, student work, and student-friendly explanations for the strategies taught."--Beth Herrig, MA, reading specialist, Indian Prairie School District #204, Aurora, Illinois "Like the prior edition, the second edition demonstrates Cummins's ongoing research and her passion for working with teachers and students. Her firm belief in explicit instruction and the gradual release of responsibility is evident in her clear and concise lesson plans. Dr. Cummins's goal is to develop strategic readers, viewers, and listeners. This is accomplished by her three-phase plan for learning and matching template for lesson planning.

    Book SynopsisWith 50% new material reflecting current research and pedagogical perspectives, this indispensable course text and teacher resource is now in a thoroughly revised third edition. Leading educators provide a comprehensive picture of reading, writing, and oral language instruction in grades 5â12. Chapters present effective practices for motivating adolescent learners, fostering comprehension of multiple types of texts, developing disciplinary literacies, engaging and celebrating students' sociocultural assets, and supporting English learners and struggling readers. Case examples, lesson-planning ideas, and end-of-chapter discussion questions and activities enhance the utility of the volume. New to This Edition *Chapters on new topics: building multicultural classrooms, Black girlsâ digital literacies, issues of equity and access, and creating inclusive writing communities. *New chapters on core topics: academic language, learning from multiple texts, and reading Trade Review"Insightful and engaging, this text provides educators with current knowledge and critical teaching applications. The third edition's increased attention to multimodalities and diversity and social justice makes a core text in the field even more desirable. The contributors challenge us to rethink and extend our practices to support adolescent literacy learning most effectively. I have used selected chapters in graduate courses, and the text was very well received. My students came away with both the passion and capability to implement new teaching practices and research projects."--Jacqueline Lynch, PhD, School of Education and Human Development, Florida International University "Presented by a dream team of researchers and educators, the third edition of this text offers evidence-based methods that center literacy instruction around adolescents' strengths, interests, and lived experiences. The volume consistently demonstrates the centrality of doing literacy in a way that truly responds to the identities of the learners we serve. Not only is this approach humanizing and equitable, but it also enhances learning. Taken together, the chapters offer a powerful vision in which teachers join with students to cultivate the strategies, skills, and agency needed for reading and writing in today’s world."--Leslie David Burns, PhD, Program Chair of Secondary English Education, University of Kentucky "This text bridges the gap between research and classroom practice in my methods course for preservice teachers. Not only are the chapters research based, but the authors also highlight youth and teacher experiences, providing a rich context for discussions about adapting literacy practices to address the various needs of students and their communities. While the third edition continues to provide exceptional resources for rigorous literacy instruction, there is a greater focus on creating space to honor cultural and linguistic diversity in the classroom. From exploring the digital literacies of Black girls to teaching multilingual text sets to challenging systemic racism across the disciplines, the new chapters are timely and speak directly to the experiences of students and teachers today.”--Anthony Celaya, PhD, Department of English, Southeast Missouri State University-Provides an array of useful ideas to strengthen and enlarge teachers' approaches to adolescent literacy instruction....Recommended.

    Book SynopsisReading instruction is too often grounded in a narrowly defined science of reading that focuses exclusively on cognitive skills and strategies. Yet cognition is just one aspect of reading development. This book guides K-8 educators to understand and address other scientifically supported factors that influence each student's literacy learning, including metacognition, motivation and engagement, socialâemotional learning, self-efficacy, and more. Peter Afflerbach uses classroom vignettes to illustrate the broad-based nature of student readersâ growth, and provides concrete suggestions for instruction and assessment. The book's utility is enhanced by end-of-chapter review questions and activities and a reproducible tool, the Healthy Readers Profile, which can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size.Trade Review"The title of this groundbreaking book says it all, affirming that educators must abandon a slavish loyalty to a prepackaged curriculum in pursuit of what is unique about each child—and that skills are not enough. Beyond attending to the cognitive skills that allow students to decode accurately, read fluently, comprehend, and even critique text, we as educators must also embrace the things that ignite and sustain readers in their quest for meaning. To truly understand readers, we must attend to the will and the thrill of reading along with the skill. Afflerbach shows us how."--P. David Pearson, PhD, Evelyn Lois Corey Emeritus Professor of Instructional Science, Graduate School of Education, University of California, Berkeley “This book offers a much-needed turn from focusing on the singular 'science of reading' to considering the multiple factors that are critical to developing healthy readers. The book helps teachers across grade levels to reflect on their practice and address the dynamic, interactive influences on students' developmental trajectories. It describes practical classroom-based assessments, including the valuable, easy-to-use Healthy Readers Profile."--Kathryn Champeau, MS, reading specialist/literacy consultant; past president, Wisconsin State Reading Association "Afflerbach shares his deep understanding of how readers learn in this brilliantly organized book. He helps classroom teachers, interventionists, and all educators to broaden their knowledge of reading and learning so that they can do the very best for every child. In order to individualize and personalize learning, we must consider the myriad factors that influence reading development and achievement, and recognize the assets each learner possesses. Afflerbach's discussions of metacognition, self-efficacy, motivation, and engagement will guide teachers to make a significant shift in their understanding. Written by a masterful teacher, this book is essential reading."--Adria Klein, PhD, Director, Comprehensive Literacy Center, Kalmanovitz School of Education, Saint Mary’s College of California-Table of ContentsIntroduction I.
