| Teacher`s Guide to Big Blocks |
A Multimethod, Multilevel Framework
by Amanda Arens, Karen Loman, Pat Cunningham, and Dottie Hall
(4-8)
Big Blocks™ is a multimethod framework that integrates
language-arts instruction with content learning and provides reading instruction
through each of the Four Blocks.
Big Blocks™ is multilevel because instruction in each block is
differentiated to meet the needs of all learners:
The Guided Reading Block differentiates instruction through the use of
whole-class and small-group instruction with short texts, picture books, and
other materials that are at or below the average reading level of students.
The Writing Block and Self-Selected Reading Block differentiate through the use
of mini-lessons at various levels, teacher modeling, and individual conferences
focusing on the needs of each student.
The Working with Words Block differentiates through the use of easy and complex
words, a focus on patterns and morphemes, a focus on transferring the words and
patterns to writing, and writing.
With this book you can bring the effective strategies of the Four-Blocks
Literacy Model to the upper grades.
