It has everything you could possibly want, and more! I love that Language lessons were included alongside Literature lessons. This meant that I could plan lessons based on skills rather than content and students could see the similarities in what was required of them from both papers, rather than approaching them as two unrelated subjects. The sample answers at the back of the book were particularly useful for modelling high level analysis. There's an overview of each character and a summary of each chapter which are infinitely useful and key information is beautifully and clearly displayed. I found it so useful I now have two for other texts! Sonya Picott, NQT at Harris Academy Beckenham

Book SynopsisAn equity-conscious, culturally sustaining approach to literacy education.Every student comes to the classroom with unique funds of knowledge in addition to unique needs. How can teachers celebrate and draw upon the valuable literacies each child already possesses to engage them more effectively in school literacy practices?In Literacy for All, Shawna Coppola shows how a literacy pedagogy founded on anti-oppressive principles can transform the experiences of teachers and students alike. Using her framework, which highlights the social and cultural aspects of literacy, teachers can help students participate in literacy experiences that illuminate their individual strengths.Coppola's book, an ideal introduction for equity-conscious literacy educators, shows how to design instructional and assessment practices that reflect both the cognitive processes and the social practices inherent in learning to read and write.Trade Review“With incisive precision, clarity, and refreshing veracity, Coppola’s Literacy for All offers a framework that equips readers with the tools needed to engage in expansive literacy practices that underscore the cognitive and social aspects of literacy, support the internal and external work necessary to sustain liberatory literacy practices and honor the research and scholarship of those whose expertise, though critical, is often not centered. This work is a vital addition to your literacy instruction toolkit."Afrika Afeni Mills, Author of Open Windows, Open Minds: Developing Antiracist, Pro-Human Students, Education Consultant, Adjunct Instructor, and CEO of Continental Drift, LLC“Literacy for All: A Framework for Anti-Oppressive Teaching walks readers through literacy movements and current debates while maintaining a critical lens on how our identities and relationships to communities impact our teaching. Coppola brings a wealth of knowledge about the definitions of literacy, sociocultural approaches to literacy, and ways to unmask the oppression embedded in dominant narratives of literacy instruction. This book carefully looks across literacy theory and methods through the lens of a thoughtful framework that recognizes the role of our positionalities, the internal and external work that is necessary when teaching, and the research-based approaches we must be aware of if we are indeed doing literacy work that is transformative and liberating. Literacy for All is a must-read for all teachers, literacy coaches, and those who want to nurture an anti-oppressive literacy culture in their schools. This book will impact our teacher journeys and help transform institutions."Carla España, Assistant Professor of Bilingual Education and Puerto Rican/Latinx and Latin American Studies, Department of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies, Brooklyn College, City University of New York“Literacy for All is a call for a more focused, complete, and unflinchingly honest approach to building literacy. Coppola brings expertise, experience, and, most importantly, humanity to the national discussion around literacy education. Melding important research from many different realms of education and holding them all up equally for important findings and critical analysis, Literacy for All is a book that anyone involved in education will find helpful, meaningful, and thought provoking."Tom Rademacher, Author of It Won't Be Easy and Raising Ollie “Wow!

Book SynopsisUsing shaggy dog stories based on classic literature, the Polettes address common spelling and grammatical errors and the ways in which children can be taught to read critically to recognize them. Stories such as Rapunzel, Alice, The Hare and the Tortoise, and King Arthur, purposely embedded with common errors, have been pretested in teacher workshops given by Nancy Polette and in Dr. Keith Polette's classes at the University of Texas, El Paso. Teachers found them specific enough to be used directly in the writing instruction curriculum and fun for students to read and try to figure out.Each full-page reproducible story and its corrected counterpart focus on common errors (incorrect use of quotation marks, end marks, capitalization, apostrophes, semicolons, run on sentences, homophones, verb usage, etc.). An appendix offers answer explanations, rules to be learned and taught, and more. Grades 3-8.Trade Review"Reproducible passages with built-in errors are designed to help upper-elementary and middle-school students hone in on specific grammatical concepts through proofreading. The stories are goofy and familiar, with punny punch lines guaranteed to elicit groans." - Curriculum Connections"Keith Polette and Nancy Polette, an author, presenter, and speaker, provide 45 reproducible stories that contain spelling and grammatical errors, with corrections, to teach children in grades three to eight editing skills. These are Shaggy Dog stories based on classic literature humorous versions of them that end with a joke or pun. The stories, such as Rapunzel, The Yellow Brick Road, and The Frankenstein Monster, instruct students what usage errors to watch out for and each has the same narrative structure." - Reference & Research Book News
