Additional Information
“This book is a great professional development resource. Teachers will love its clarity, action steps, and discussion prompts throughout the book.

“Reading and Writing Instruction for PreK Through First-Grade Classrooms in a PLC at Work® is a thoughtful, comprehensive road map that truly puts students front and center. Whether you are a new or a veteran educator, this book outlines the important conversations needed to ensure every student receives effective, equitable literacy instruction.”
“Some good teachers may be born that way, but I suspect most good teachers are made through hard work and dedication. This book tells us how that process might best occur. Why struggle alone when one can harness the collective insights and expertise of a team? Nowhere does this become more obvious than when unpacking the literacy standards that teachers must interpret in order to provide effective literacy instruction to their young learners. Martin and May provide clear and engaging guidance for providing professional learning communities with the necessary wherewithal to do just that. Packed full of procedures, necessary tools, templates, and lively examples from their own experiences, the authors have laid out a systematic approach to identifying priority standards, generating learning progressions to build incremental steps to the standards, and devising summative and formative assessment techniques to help determine how and when young students are meeting their literacy learning goals.”
