“All educators teach reading and writing, whether they realize it or not, and more broadly, the most important job of our schools is to instill in student’s outstanding literacy skills. Sarah Tantillo’s The Literacy Cookbook is an essential resource to help you achieve excellence in this critical area of teaching.”—Doug Lemov, author of Teach Like a Champion, Teach Like a Champion Field Guide, and Practice Perfect”
THE LITERACY COOKBOOK
Literacy is the cornerstone to any child’s education because if students
are not literate, then they cannot succeed in other content areas such
as math, science, and history. According to the latest Programme for
International Student Assessment (PISA), findings demonstrate that
American students are falling behind their counterparts internationally.
That’s why literacy expert Sarah Tantillo’s new book, THE
LITERACY COOKBOOK (November, Jossey-Bass), is a must read for all
educators. Aligned with Common Core Standards, the book includes dozens
of practical tools and directions, or recipes, on how to teach reading,
writing, speaking, and listening to even the most hard-to-reach
students. The recipes in this book, including a companion website, give
students an edge on their path to college.
“Part of our job as teachers (and parents) is to help children fall in
love with books, and cultivating strong literacy in children is one of
the key components of cultivating that love – as nobody loves to
struggle,” says author Sarah Tantillo. “I wrote The Literacy Cookbook so
that those who give the gift of literacy can help children easily become
book lovers for life while, of course, meeting state standards.”
THE LITERACY COOKBOOK gives detailed guidance on how to help
students succeed at fundamental tasks such as persuasive writing and
test preparation along with exploring the comprehension process by
outlining four key reading skills. Additionally, the book:
-
Identifies the characteristics of different types of readers
-
Explains the methods to use when teaching students to read
strategically
-
Contains accessible and easy-to-adopt recipes for strengthening
comprehension, reading, writing, and oral fluency
-
Offers terrific resources which are ready for download on the
companion website
THE LITERACY COOKBOOK is a must-read for all those in education.
