About the Book

This book offers essential guidance to US pre-service and in-service teachers seeking to create, revise or add new strategies to the teaching of the language arts block. The focus is on how to implement effective strategies in the context of a well-planned classroom and a smoothly choreographed daily schedule. Vivid case studies bring to life the methods used by exemplary teachers to create rich, student-friendly learning environments for children in grades K-4. No component of organizing the language arts block is omitted, including setting up and running classroom learning centers, assessing different instructional needs, conducting whole-class and small-group meetings, and linking language arts to content area instruction.

Review :
In this book, Lesley Mandel Morrow does a fantastic job of synthesizing a compendium of effective practices, strategies, and classroom management techniques being used by exemplary classroom teachers. This text will support both preservice and inservice teachers by demystifying some of the complexities of teaching and managing a reading/language arts block efficiently. The classroom case studies are wonderfully written and should serve as an inspiration to both those who are currently teaching and those who wish to in the future. The teachers described have created classroom environments centered on literacy tasks that motivate, challenge, and teach students from the moment they arrive at school. - Allison Swan, PhD, University of Pittsburgh The case studies presented in this text reveal in extraordinary detail the organizational and instructional strategies of exemplary teachers who are successfully meeting the highest expectations for language arts instruction. Preservice and inservice teachers alike will find the format invaluable for group discussion and support as they strive to emulate the teachers on whose work the text is based. - Laura Klenk, PhD, Department of Learning and Instruction, The State University of New York at Buffalo -Laura Klenk, PhD, Department of Learning and Instruction, The State University of New York at Buffalo
