| Summary |
This book is designed for novice and experienced middle school teachers who want to move away from a basal and isolated skills approach to literacy instruction toward a combined approach that embraces aspects of whole language and explicit instruction and uses literature to teach both reading and writing. The authors present practical activities that engage students in both reading and writing, and offer teacher resources such as journal questions, reflection sheets, and lesson plans |
