Practical Teaching Materials for the Classroom
These classroom resources provide core curriculum and instruction while scaffolding and guiding professional growth. Heinemann authors expand on ideas and methods they introduce in their professional books, model effective instructional strategies from experience in real classrooms, and provide you with "ready-to-use" classroom resources — including teaching materials and lesson plans — written to support your daily instruction.
Literacy Resources
With over 20 years of literacy leadership, the extensive work of Irene Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell has coalesced into Fountas & Pinnell Literacy™: a comprehensive, systematic design for high-impact literacy instruction. Transformative professional development underpins Fountas & Pinnell Literacy™—insightful Assessment, effective Intervention, practical Professional Books, and essential Classroom Resources—to redefine and elevate literacy teaching and learning.
Drawing on learning gleaned from decades of research, curriculum development, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with students, teachers, and school leaders, Lucy Calkins and her colleagues at the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project have developed the Units of Study - state-of-the-art units, tools, and methods for teaching reading and writing workshop.
From the author of The Reading Strategies Book 2.0 and Understanding Texts & Readers comes Complete Comprehension. Jennifer Serravallo has provided everything you need for goal-directed, strategy-driven instruction to support comprehension of entire chapter books: high-quality trade books, a unique whole-book assessment, easy-to-use evaluation rubrics, and 100 reading strategies to teach. Available in Fiction, Nonfiction and as a classroom bundle.
"We teach the reader, not just the reading. We want children to be lifelong learners who read actively and independently across the curriculum, who engage their minds and understand what they read. The Toolkit lessons and practices teach kids to use comprehension strategies to 'read to learn' as they encounter information and ideas in a wide variety of nonfiction texts."
—Stephanie Harvey & Anne Goudvis
The Transforming Our Teaching series by Regie Routman is designed to be a virtual companion and explicit, easy-to-use guide for principals, coaches, and teachers seeking to embed ongoing school-wide professional development focused on excellent literacy practices, classroom-based assessment, and implementation of the Common Core Standards.
