The Complete Four For Literacy How to Teach Reading and Writing Through Comprehensive Month-by-Month Units of Study

This book provides an organizational framework, detailed models, lessons and practical support for mapping and building grade-specific curriculum across the school year through four major types of units of study—strategy, process, genre, and conventions—that integrate reading and writing. Allyn equips teachers to identify the big ideas and deep understandings they want to develop in children and shows how to use them in framing a year, a unit, and a lesson in the teaching of reading and writing.
