| Publisher Description: The author of the bestselling Boys and Literacy offers an overview of current thought on the teaching of reading. Differentiating Reading Instruction through Children's Literature includes data on the current status of reading instruction, models and methods, best practices, and brain research. The focus here on differentiation of instruction (what it is general and what is specific to reading) will be valuable to school librarians in their effort to understand and support reading instruction in their schools. The book includes lesson ideas, annotations, kids' book titles, professional articles, books, and resources and author information to aide in understanding the topic. Lessons are built with a standard template format featuring: use with groups, reading levels, content area reading and writing connections, storyline, comprehension skills, and differentiation ideas. Applicable in grades K-8 |
