For courses in foundational reading methods. A comprehensive, accessible guide to developmentally and culturally responsive literacy instruction Teaching Reading and Writing: The Developmental Approach gives pre-service and experienced teachers the knowledge and tools they need to teach reading and writing effectively in a developmentally responsive and integrated way, while meeting the diverse needs of students in PreK-8 classrooms. The book reflects an integrated model of literacy instruction based on the understanding that reading and writing are developmental processes, presenting the essential components of literacy in every chapter. Designed to encourage teaching in a student-centered, research-based way, the book begins with assessment to help readers learn to identify students' stages of development as a means for determining not only what to teach, but when and how to teach it. Foundational chapters address the nature of development, while additional chapters are devoted to exploring each stage of development. Using a conversational tone to present a wealth of content on both print-based and digital literacy, this book helps readers connect theory to practice through real classroom vignettes and sample lessons; authentic student work samples; and tools for organizing and managing a comprehensive, developmentally responsive literacy program. The 2nd Edition includes new learning outcomes, step-by-step features, at-a-glance development characteristics tables, and practical classroom resource appendices to help highlight important concepts and practices that pre-service teachers can use in their classrooms. Every chapter features updated, inclusive recommended literature lists across genres and cultures; more integrated, updated content on digital literacy; and up-to-date research on literacy development, instruction, assessment, and intervention.

"Writing allows each of us to live with that special wide-awakeness that comes from knowing that our lives and our ideas are worth writing about." -Lucy Calkins Teaching Writing is Lucy Calkins at her best-a distillation of the work that's placed Lucy and her colleagues at the forefront of the teaching of writing for over thirty years. This book promises to inspire teachers to teach with renewed passion and power and to invigorate the entire school day. This is a book for readers who want an introduction to the writing workshop, and for those who've lived and breathed this work for decades. Although Lucy addresses the familiar topics-the writing process, conferring, kinds of writing, and writing assessment- she helps us see those topics with new eyes. She clears away the debris to show us the teeny details, and she shows us the majesty and meaning, too, in these simple yet powerful teaching acts. Download a sample chapter for more information.
