<p>Veteran teacher and author Linda Rief has inspired thousands of practitioners across the nation to lead adolescent students on a journey to becoming lifelong readers and writers. In <i>ReadWriteTeach</i>, Linda offers the what, how, and why of a year's worth of reading and writing for middle and high school students with a framework that is as flexible as it is comprehensive.</p> <p><i>"...This book isn't a compilation of tear-out reproducibles designed to help us replicate Linda's practices,"</i> writes Maja Wilson in the foreword. <i>"Instead, it's the most powerful gift that a master teacher can give us: the story of her thinking and feeling as she teaches." </i>Linda's insights and beliefs are woven throughout a comprehensive overview of best literacy practices, which include:</p> <ul style="list-style-type: disc; margin-top: 0in;"> <li>essentials in the reading-writing workshop </li> <li>grounding our choices in our beliefs </li> <li>getting to know ourselves and our students as readers and writers. </li> </ul> <p>Students' voices, through examples of their writing, drawing, and thinking, resonate throughout the book and characterize the thoughtful readers, writers, and citizens of the world that they become under Linda's guidance.</p> <p>Online companion resources include all of the handouts that Linda uses in her own classroom.<br /> <br /> Download a free sample chapter!</p>
