Shifting the Balance: 6 Ways to Bring the Science of Reading into the Balanced Literacy Classroom by Jan Miller Burkins PDF

نویسنده: Jan Miller Burkins

پیش نمایش کتاب

From phonological processing to brain research to orthographic mapping to self-teaching hypothesis, Shifting the Balance cuts through the rhetoric (and the sciencey science) to offer readers a practical guide to decision-making about beginning reading instruction. The authors honor the balanced literacy perspective while highlighting common practices to reconsider and revise—all through a lens of what’s best for the students sitting in front of us.

Across six shifts, each chapter

identifies a common instructional practice to reconsider
explores various misunderstandings that establish and keep that practice in play
shares scientific research to support its reconsideration
proposes an instructional shift to apply a new perspective, and
details several high-leverage instructional routines to support implementation of that shift.
By pinpointing gaps and overlaps—as well as common misunderstandings and missed opportunities between the competing lines of thought—Jan and Kari offer busy educators direction and clarification for integrating science and balance into their daily instruction, while keeping meaningful experiences with text a priority.
