Chase Young - Böcker

This inviting book is a bridge between two major strands of reading instruction that are often held in opposition: the science of reading and artful approaches to teaching reading. Although the current climate of literacy instruction positions these approaches as diametrically opposed, the authors Young, Paige, and Rasinski describe how teachers can use the science of reading to engage students in artful, engaging, and authentic instruction. The authors reveal how effective teaching is a dynamic process that requires agency and creativity and show how teachers make artful shifts based on the needs of students in specific contexts. Chapters include a range of examples and explanations of how artful teaching is integrated into reading instruction and how it can increase students’ motivation and positive attitudes toward reading. The concise and practical chapters cover key topics, including phonemic awareness, reading fluency, vocabulary, assessment, home and family reading, and more.This essential road map for all pre-service and in-service reading teachers restores the importance of teacher agency, supports the critical understanding of reading research, and allows teachers to use their knowledge, experience, and creative approaches in the classroom. This is the definitive guide to teaching reading as both an art and a science.

This book connects evidence-based approaches with project-based learning so that you can help your students develop their literacy skills in engaging and authentic ways.There are so many real-world scenarios that can be used in classrooms, such as newscasts, podcasts, and movie-making, all of which require skills that can be taught discretely and explicitly so that students can accomplish the goals of each project. This book takes the research in reading and translates it into structured projects that you can integrate into your lesson plans. Once the research is described, the authors list the skills necessary to complete the project and the ways that these skills can be taught in structured and explicit ways, many of which are embedded in the project itself. Each chapter contextualizes the skills within the Active View of Reading. Then, step-by-step instructions are given on how to complete the project. Each chapter includes an example activity and lesson plan that you can incorporate into your teaching immediately.Through the integration of the science of reading and project-based learning, this is a key resource for elementary school reading teachers. With the strategies and ideas outlined in this book, you can see how evidence-based instruction can be fun and connected to authentic experiences.
