Information for teachers and parents on teaching and assessing reading, writing, and literacy. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. What Can Librarians Do to Support Student Literacy? Any thoughts on top 2 or 3 literacy concepts on which you would focus librarians? Let me say how happy I am that you are available to students and teachers. As I make my way across the country I find fewer and fewer school-based librarians. Unfortunately, you appear to be part of a disappearing breed. Here are a few ideas. Children of...

Information for teachers and parents on teaching and assessing reading, writing, and literacy. Thursday, July 12, 2012. Planning for Close Reading. The common core standards have promoted the idea of close reading; essentially a more text-centered approach to guiding students' reading comprehension. I recently made some presentations where I showed teachers how to plan an elementary level close reading lesson. The attached Powerpoint shows my thinking on that. On the third reading, the issue is how does ...

Shanahan on Literacy: Daily Five and Common Core?
http://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/2012/11/daily-five-and-common-core.html
Information for teachers and parents on teaching and assessing reading, writing, and literacy. Monday, November 12, 2012. Daily Five and Common Core? Recently, I received a question about the appropriateness of the Daily Five to the Common Core. Interesting question…. I think the purpose of the Daily Five is to provide teachers with a curriculum framework that guides them to spend time on a certain set of activities. That’s a big difference, and I think the common core separates itself from the Dai...

Shanahan on Literacy: Informational Text: Or How Thin Can You Slice the Salami
http://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/2012/10/informational-text-or-how-thinly-can.html
Information for teachers and parents on teaching and assessing reading, writing, and literacy. Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Informational Text: Or How Thin Can You Slice the Salami. As most of you know, the common core state standards (CCSS) make a big deal about informational text.

Shanahan on Literacy: Why We Need to Teach Reading AND Writing
http://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/2015/08/why-we-need-to-teach-reading-and-writing.html
Information for teachers and parents on teaching and assessing reading, writing, and literacy. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Why We Need to Teach Reading AND Writing. Then I went to graduate school.
