In this book, author Peggy Campbell-Rush shares the strategies she relies on to teach young students not only how to read and write, but also to love to read and write. Teachers will find close to 100 tips, ideas, and activities that they can implement immediately, including: the dos and don'ts for reading aloud; putting new twists on tedious tasks (like multiple readings of the same book); managing writing workshops with a classroom full of students; motivating kids to use the word wall every day and in every way; and differentiating instruction so all readers and writers can experience success. After an introduction, this books is divided into three main parts: (1) Reading; (2) Writing; and (3) Word Walls. The following are appended: (1) Inside-Outside Circle Game; and (2) Songs Sung to Familiar Tunes. A list of resources; reproducibles; and an index are also included.
