Rock Your Literacy Block: Mighty Moves to Organize Your Day and Optimize Student Learning

As teachers learn about the science of reading, they’re gaining knowledge about the “what,” but not so much the “how.” In other words, they don’t have a clear picture of how to implement research-backed daily reading instruction… until now! Expert primary-level teacher, Lindsay Kemeny, guides readers through her literacy block, step-by-step – from morning arrival to whole-class and small-group instruction to literacy centers, writing time, and read-aloud. Loaded with teaching, planning, and management tips, sample schedules and routines, and connections to her bestselling 7 Mighty Moves, this book is a valuable resource for any K-3 teacher. The companion website includes download-ready sample schedules and planning tools, as well as classroom video clips that show how Kemeny runs her literacy block, from morning arrival on!
