In his new book, \"In the Best Interest of Students, Staying True to What Works in the ELA Classroom\" Kelly Gallagher reminds us that standards come and go but what remains constant is the need to stay true to what we know works in the teaching of reading, writing, speaking and listening.     In in this book, Kelly advocates:    Dialing up the amount of reading and writing students are doing.  Balancing rigorous, high-quality literature and non-fiction with high-interest, student-selected titles.  Giving students much more choice when it comes to reading and writing activities.  Encouraging readers to deepen their comprehension by moving beyond the \"four corners of the text.\"  Using modeling to enrich students' writing skills in the prewriting, drafting, and revision stages.  Helping young writers to achieve more authenticity through the blending of genres.  Resisting the de-emphasis of narrative and imaginative reading and writing.  Planning lessons that move beyond Common Core expectations.  Providing students with more opportunities to sharpen their listening and speaking skills    Kelly Gallagher is a strong voice of reason, reminding us that instruction should be anchored around one guiding question: What is in the best interest of our students?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43664534208572,"sku":null,"price":53.56,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9781625310446.jpg?v=1762976362","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/products\/in-the-best-interest-of-students-30268","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
