Never has teaching these children been more critical. And there's never been a resource to help you do it better than Classrooms That Work, They Can All Read & Write.

Refocusing attention on the critical importance of high-quality classroom literacy instruction, Cunningham and Allington offer a blueprint for classrooms that accelerate literacy learning of children who find learning to read and write difficult.

Recognizing that providing opportunities for children to read and write is only a good beginning, the book offers supportive instruction through an explicit modeling of the thinking processes that skilled readers and writers use. This balanced approach to classroom literacy lessons engages children in meaningful reading and writing activity while teachers model powerful word structure and meaning-making strategies for their students.

Practical cases vividly portray the look and feel of the balanced classroom programs this text describes.

The Classroom Practice Unit applys the theory and strategies described in Classrooms That Work, They Can All Read & Write. Notations are made throughout the unit to make the connections between the unit and the text.
