Apprenticeship in Literacy: Transitions Across Reading and Writing

Rating:
Summary: A must have for all balanced early literacy classrooms.
Review: If you liked Guided Reading by Fountas and Pinnell, you'll REALLY enjoy this book. It includes not only easy to understand philosophy, but exacting implementation suggestions (pictures, too) along with excellent teacher language you'll want to use in conjunction with the explicit guided reading and writing suggestions for every level: emergent, early and fluent. I'm a Reading Recovery teacher who also works with literacy groups and think this is the best classroom balanced literacy book I've seen to date.
