A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Why Is this Book the Best Contribution to the Language Arts Field in Years?

Described by reviewers as one of the most comprehensive and complete texts to be published in the field in years, The Language Arts provides readers with a truly balanced approach to the teaching of language arts with an emphasis on the arts themselves.

Key Features:

• Robust Pedagogical Plan presents a solid instructional strategy of preparation, instruction, and reinforcement.
• Chapter 13, “The Spelling Connection,” presents what reviewers cite as the strongest, most comprehensive spelling chapter in the field. A discussion of spelling stages, teaching approaches, strategies, invented spelling, and assessment of spelling places a clear emphasis on the integration of reading, writing, and spelling.
• “A Matter of Standards” section at the beginning of each chapter correlates chapter content to the IRA/NCTE Standards for Reading Professionals. An at-a-glance chart is also included at the beginning of the book for easy reference.
• A “Blue Pages” compendium of professional references, children's literature lists, and additional instructional strategies keyed to chapter content provides prospective teachers with practical ideas for teaching literature and supplemental strategies for each chapter.
