This should be on a reading list for all teachers working with young elementary students. Great ideas for building oral and literacy skills for all students.

This educator friendly read has excellent evidence based language comprehension practices that can easily be utilized in the classroom!

Purchased as a resource book for reading small groups. I wanted to learn some tips for directing small group discussion related to reading. This is geared more for PreK - 2 grade on how to engage students in more in depth conversations. It would be very helpful as a resource. It also has great tips for parents on how to foster the conversation learning process at home. I have picked up a few ideas on how to incorporate some of the skills in my small groups.

This book contains excellent ideas for boosting children's oral language to ensure they are prepared for--and enjoy--instruction in reading and writing. The authors offer a simple framework for engaging children in rich conversations to boost their vocabulary, understanding of language structures, verbal reasoning skills, and knowledge of themselves and the world--and, by doing so, fill a huge gap in the science-of-reading conversation! Plus, they offer loads of children's book suggestions, teaching ideas, and demonstration videos. This book has changed the way I teach and my students learn!
