Reference

English as a Second Language

In this book, you'll find a wealth of mini lessons designed to improve the quality of students' writing. Each lesson uses a key mentor text and spotlights one of the 6 + 1 Writing Traits to allow students to focus on the essential aspects of good writing - content, organization, word choice, voice, sentence fluency, conventions, and presentation. Inviting and practical, the lessons are concise and follow a consistent model for easy implementation. With seven lessons per chapter, each includes step-by-step guidance, open-ended prompts, and suggestions for additional suitable mentor texts. The chapters are organized by genre - including fiction, informational texts, and poetry - and feature graphic novels and graphic informational mentor texts to inspire and engage students. Aligned with the Common Core State Standards, this resource is essential for any K-8 or pre-service teacher who wants to instill in their students the skills to become independent, confident writers.

Using Mentor Texts to Teach 6 + 1 Writing Traits

This new edition of INTEGRATING THE LANGUAGE ARTS reflects the authors' belief that learning the language arts involves higher mental processes than mere skill memorization and cuts across all the subject content areas. This second edition offers a balanced approach between direct instruction in the communication arts and integrating listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and visual representing with other content areas such as music, art, mathematics, social studies, and science. The book's discussions reflect the latest research in the language arts areas as well as research in cognitive development and advances in technology. This edition addresses the important topics of community and parental involvement in the education process and offers thoughtful coverage of multiculturalism and diversity in the schools. 
The authors believe in incorporating real-life activities and experiences into the classroom, and as a result this new edition is more interactive--it encourages readers to become actively involved in their own learning, to move beyond the textbook and apply what they learn through real-life teaching experiences.

The third edition of this comprehensive resource helps future and practicing teachers recognize and assess literacy problems, while providing practical, effective intervention strategies to help every child succeed. The author thoroughly explores the major components of literacy, providing an overview of pertinent research, suggested methods and tools for diagnosis and assessment, intervention strategies and activities, and technology applications to increase students skills. A focus throughout on the needs of English learners will assist teachers as they address the concerns of these students and help them to become literate in English. Several valuable appendices include assessment tools, instructions and visuals for creating and implementing the book s more than 150 instructional strategies and activities, and other resources. Now in full color throughout, this new layout helps to enhance the book's various features and engage readers more fully. New to the Third Edition: The book's expanded focus now covers grades PreK through 8, providing much-needed activities and assessments to help older students struggling with literacy. Important information is now included on educational models and frameworks such as Response to Intervention (RTI), the Common Core Standards, and 6 + 1 Trait WritingÂ® Assessment and Instruction. Critical literacy theory is introduced, together with information about how to include critical literacy in literacy instruction, assessment, and intervention. Discussions of multimodal literacy explore how teachers can help their students develop these skills through interventions that incorporate multiple types of student response and assessment to measure such responses. Scenarios featuring real teachers bookend the chapters and ground the content in an authentic context. Chapter-opening vignettes feature guiding questions, which tie the scenarios to chapter content and provide a purpose for reading; chapter-ending vignettes, with reflective-learning questions, provide opportunities for readers to think back on the chapter content and apply what they ve learned. Other Key Features: A section on motivation, which presents reasons for the decline in motivation to read and specific ways teachers can address this decline. Detailed information on designing checklists and rubrics. Sample checklists are provided throughout the relevant chapters (and Appendix C includes more than 50 additional assessment tools). More than 150 intervention activities, many of which are designed to be used with children's literature. Instructions and visuals for creating the strategies and activities described throughout the book are included in Appendix D. Two additional appendices that provide helpful resources, book lists, pronunciation guides, common word families, and frequently used suffixes and prefixes.
