Summary Note |
"In this much anticipated follow-up to their best-selling book for K-2 teachers, 'Shifting the balance: 6 ways to bring the science of reading' into the Balanced Literacy Classroom', Jan Burkins and Kari Yates, together with co-author Katie Cunningham, extend the conversation in with this new text built specifically with grades 3-5 teachers in mind, introducing six more shifts across individual chapters that: Zoom in on a common (but not-as helpful-as-we-had-hoped) practice to reconsider; Untangle a number of 'misunderstandings' that have likely contributed to the use of the common practice; Propose a more science-aligned shift to the current practice; Provide solid scientific research to support the revised practice, and; Offer a collection of high-leverage, easy-to-implement instructional routines to support the shift to more brain-friendly instruction. Katie, Jan, and Kari know the overwhelm of the 'where to start?' question. They've experienced the confusion of 'who to believe' in a sometimes polarized and heated context. In response, they offer a refreshing approach that is respectful, accessible, and practical - grounded in an earnest commitment to building a bridge between research and classroom practice." - Back cover. |
