Teaching Reading Across the Day, Grades K-8: Methods and Structures for Engaging, Explicit Instruction

"Reading well across disciplines and within varied contexts will help students to be versatile, flexible, deep readers who can better learn from their reading, transfer skills across subjects, and use strategies to meet the unique demands of reading in each content area."
– Jennifer Serravallo

Research-based, easy-to-use lesson structures for explicit and engaging teaching
In Teaching Reading Across the Day, literacy expert Jennifer Serravallo provides nine effective, predictable, research-based lesson structures that help busy teachers save planning time and focus their teaching―and student attention―on content rather than procedures. Each of the nine lesson structures (read aloud, phonics and spelling, vocabulary, focus, shared reading, close reading, guided inquiry, reader’s theater, and conversation) has its own chapter and features a wealth of resources that let you see the lessons in action in ELA, Science, and Social Studies classes, including:
An annotated teaching vignette, lesson explanation, and research notes
Tips for planning, structure and timing suggestions, and ideas for responsive teaching
