Title: Shifting the balance :6 ways to bring the science of reading into the upper elementary classroom /Katie Egan Cunningham, Jan Burkins, and Kari Yates. Author: Cunningham, Katie Egan,1978-,(author.). Location: 372.4 BUR Added Name: Burkins, Jan Miller,1968-, (author.). Yates, Kari, (author.). Subject: Reading (Elementary) Reading, Psychology of. Reading -- Physiological aspects. Cognition in children. ISBN: 9781625315977 Collation: 250 pages ; 26 cm. 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. General Note: The six shifts are: 1) Reconsidering how knowledge impacts comprehension; 2) Rethinking the role of strategy instruction in learning to comprehend; 3) Recommitting to vocabulary instruction; 4) Reclaiming word-reading instruction in the intermediate grades; 5) Revisiting fluency instruction; 6) Reimagining independent practice in the literacy classroom. On cover: Grades 3-5.
