View Sample Pages Provides a detailed curricular calendar that's
tied to a developmental continuum and the standards so you'll
know not only what you should be teaching, but what your
students are ready to embrace and what you can reasonably expect
of them as successful readers and writers. Additionally, you'll
find monthly units of study that integrate reading and writing
so both work together to provide maximum support for your
students. The units are organized around four essential
components, process, genre, strategy, and conventions, so you're
reassured you're addressing everything your students need to
know about reading and writing. What's more you'll find ready-
to-use lessons that offer exemplary teaching and continuous
assessment, and a flexible framework that shows you how to frame
a year of teaching, a unit, and a lesson—and you can easily
adapt all to fit the unique needs and interests of your own
students. 240 pages + DVD (17 minutes) & fold-out color year-
